I'm a freelance copyeditor of nonfiction and fiction working with independent authors, traditional publishers, and editing agencies.

Copyediting is the line-by-line editing that happens after your biography or novel or how-to book has been developed and written. I'm the one who makes sure participles aren't dangling, subjects and verbs all agree,  and the meaning of each sentence is clear. I correct spelling (is it mind-set or mindset?), check facts (did California become a state in 1849 or 1850?), flag inconsistencies (the protagonist's named is spelled Stacy and Stacey)--all the detailed stuff that is easily missed when you are focusing on the big picture.

To show you how I can help, I'll edit a 1,000-word sample for free. Contact me to get started.
