Vincent Warne – Editor

5+ years of experience in copyediting and proofreading in print and digital, especially for film, art, and non-fiction.

Overview

Hi! I'm a copy editor and proofreader with a background in print publishing and film criticism. For over 5 years I've been working at the Millennium Film Journal, the longest-running avant-garde film publication since 1978. As managing editor, I have edited, copy edited, and proofread dozens of articles, and I've developed a keen ear for flow, clarity, and accuracy, as well as a laser-focused eye for errors. I'm adept at MLA and Chicago style citations, and have also freelance copy edited academic books.

I take a granular, word-by-word approach to sentences, but years of practice with tight deadlines have enabled me to scan writing quickly, and I can turn even the clunkiest text into a smooth, error-free manuscript on short notice. My particular areas of expertise are film, literature, and technology, but I'm a also generalist, and comfortable working on a wide range of subjects. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Work experience

Millennium Film Journal

Oct, 2022 — Present
As the managing editor of the Millennium Film Journal, the longest-running publication devoted to artist's moving image, I write and edit articles, manage editors, proofread each article that goes into each issue, and assist with various administrative duties related to distribution, promotion, and organization.

Atropos Books

Jul, 2021 — Nov, 2021 (5 months)
I copy edited the manuscript of Andrzej Jachimczyk's 228-page academic book "How I Became What I Am: Young Nietzsche Embarks on Life's Odyssey." As Andrzej is not a native english speaker, the text required substantial edits for word choice, flow, and clarity, and I also assisted with the book summaries and blurbs.

Various

Jan, 2019 — Present
Over the years I've written for various print and digital publications, primarily film-related, including Film Comment, Screen Slate, and the Millennium Film Journal.
