Professional Developmental Editor, Line Editor, Copyeditor, Proofreader, and Interior Book Designer
Welcome to my profile! For as long as you stay, I hope you enjoy your time.
Your number one question should be whether or not you need my services. My number one question is have you finished your manuscript? If you can answer yes to that question, then you’re in need of a book expert—someone who is capable of editing your manuscript for:
❖ Content (flow, character development, plot development, etc.),
❖ Grammar (noun-verb agreement, danglers, tense, word usage, etc.),
❖ Spelling (is it their, there, or they're?),
❖ Punctuation (does that comma go there, is that the proper formatting for an ellipsis?),
❖ Proper capitalization of terms (Government or government?),
❖ Proper treatment of numbers (101 or one hundred and one?),
❖ Proper formatting of foreign terms (avec vous?),
❖ Quotations and dialogue formatting (single quotations for a quote inside of character speech or double?),
❖ Reference formatting and fact checking,
❖ And so many other editing errors I’ve come across in my eight years of editing for authors.
However, I’m not just an editor. You see, I self-published years ago on various different platforms, and I transposed that skill I learned from my personal life into my professional one. I’m capable of formatting your manuscript for electronic publication and paperback publication for the following platforms:
❖ Amazon KDP
❖ Barnes & Noble's Nook
❖ Kobo
❖ Smashwords
❖ Lulu
❖ BookBaby
If you are thinking of publishing on a different platform, I’m a quick learner. Honestly, there are a few things to tweak here and there to make a document compatible on a different platform. Just ask, and I’ll let you know if I can work my magic.
Interested in my specs?
I’ve professionally content edited, line edited, copyedited, proofread, and formatted manuscripts for self-publication, submission to literary agents, and submission to publishers for the past eight years working with a myriad of different genres. I’m always looking to learn something new.
