About

Freelance Book Editor

I have found myself knee-deep in words my entire life. As a voracious reader in my childhood, I would devour a book every couple of days. Soon I took on the mantle of typing lengthy reports and letters for my grandfather on his trusty typewriter, and writing recollections of family holidays.

Editing books is an exhilarating process and a chance to constantly learn. As I work on my own book, I have developed great respect and appreciation for writers—writing is hard, hard work. To that end, and to ensure that I do the best job possible, I have a four-step process that I use as an editor—detailed notes on the entire manuscript, chapterwise suggestions, paragraph editing, and finally proofreading.

Armed with strong skills and a commitment to meet deadlines, the book editing world is the happiest place to be. ?It keeps me surrounded by words and gives me the opportunity to grow.

Work Terms

My work hours are flexible, depending on client needs.
I prefer to take 50% payment up front, but this can be negotiated.
Email communication is best, because of the time difference.
