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. I'm currently the Managing Editor of the Millennium Film Journal, an experimental film magazine publishing since 1978. For the Journal I've edited, copy edited, and proofread hundreds of articles. I've also freelance copy edited and proofread several published books.

I approach sentences word-by-word, but years of practice under tight deadlines have allowed me to work quickly. I can turn even the clunkiest text into a smooth, error-free manuscript on short notice. My areas of expertise are film, literature, and technology, but at heart I'm a generalist, 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 perform 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." Andrzej is not a native english speaker, so the text required substantial edits for word choice, flow, and clarity, and I also helped write the book summaries and blurbs.

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