Services
CopyeditingYour copy will be checked for spelling, grammar, punctuation, consistency, and ease of reading. Sentence structure, incorrect word usage, and awkward phrasing will be reviewed as well.
I will also fact-check story elements when necessary. I strive for accuracy and clarity while maintaining the author’s voice and meaning. Most materials are edited using Microsoft Word, although I work with PDFs and other formats and programs as well. I also edit copy in HTML directly for the web. If paper editing is required I will use standard editing marks. You will get a comprehensive and professional copyedit along with comments and suggestions. |
Ebook formattingAre you a self-published author looking to publish an ebook?
I can format your manuscript and produce high-quality EPUB and MOBI files to sell on Amazon, Apple’s iBooks, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo, among others. If you choose to publish through Smashwords, I’ll take your Word doc and format it to their strict requirements. A properly formatted document allows you to publish through the Smashwords Premium Catalog, which is where you want to be. Get in touch or check out my FAQ page to learn more about the ebook production process or to chat about how the whole thing works! |
ProofreadingI will meticulously comb through your proofs to eliminate typos while ensuring excellent spelling, grammar, punctuation, and consistency.
Editorial style sheets will be adhered to, and material will be read word by word, and compared to a control copy or original, if requested. Proofreading is best done after material is laid out to correct errors in textual and visual elements. I will incorporate author or editor alterations accurately and in a time-sensitive manner. Outstanding issues will be flagged for follow-up. |
