Copyediting is my passion! My areas of expertise are line editing, copy editing, and proofreading. I have been the copy editor and final read for the New York Times best-selling author Dianna Love and many other authors for almost fifteen years. Dianna writes romance/fantasy fiction, crime thrillers, and young adult fantasy fiction. I do the copy editing and find 95% of the mistakes. Next, a couple of others proofread it. Then I do the final read, ensuring it is 100% clean and error-free. I do all the steps for my other authors. I recently worked as a copy editor for a law firm, verifying that all documents (trusts, wills, and correspondence) left the office 100% clean and error-free. Besides copyediting and proofreading, I am also an excellent writer. I have helped two first-time authors with great stories, but they needed almost every sentence rewritten. That is one extreme. All the authors I have worked with have published their work. I have been fortunate to develop a fantastic rapport with every author I have ever worked with. Excellent communication is critical. With a sharp eye for detail, my efficiency is unmatched, ensuring your project is completed on time. My knowledge of the Chicago Manual of Style and AP style, coupled with my bachelor’s degree from Georgia Institute of Technology, further guarantees the quality and efficiency of my work, giving you confidence in my ability to meet deadlines. I offer two pricing options to accommodate different budget restraints: a flat rate per word and an hourly rate. My flat rate is between $.035 and $.05 per word, and my hourly rate is between $40 and $55. My rates are negotiable, especially for long-term, ongoing work. Most people do better by the hour unless the project is highly labor-intensive. I offer the best of both options, giving you the most beneficial rate. If my hourly wages hit the total quote for “by the word,” I will stop timing, so you receive the lowest rate. This is my process. I do the first read (copyediting and line editing) using the tracking feature on Microsoft Word and find 95% of the mistakes. I will send it to you so you can accept/reject the edits and respond to the comments. You don’t have to accept every edit. It is more important to reject the edits you DON’T want and respond to the comments/questions. Then, you will return it to me for a second read (proofreading). I will begin with a clean copy and read it again. We will continue this process (usually only two reads are required) until your document is 100% clean and error-free. The completion time is based on how many words are in the document and how quickly you return the first read to me. I have copyedited and proofread over eighteen novels by New York Times best-selling author Dianna Love. Some other books I have worked on include: • 70 50 10: The Journey to an Entrepreneurial Legacy by Mike Russell and Visionary Writing (Amazon) • Black Diamond: The Fourth Missing Bullet by B. Frank Hall (Amazon) • Can God Use Me? by Kristine Kimmel (Amazon) • Courage for America by Jackie Arnold (Amazon) • Mulberry Creek by Harry Bach (Amazon) • Five Indelible Men by S. Z. Mustafa (Amazon) • Ikhla’s Butterfly by S. Z. Mustafa (Amazon) • The High School of Low Blows by Rosie Medero • People and Plants by Desiree Delcourt • The Best Adventure Ever by Mathew Jensen (Amazon) • Lifemap for Teens by Mathew Jensen (Amazon) • The Sales Engineer’s Playbook by Darel D. Ison II • Money Laundering and Compliance in Football by Ibrahim ElOraby (Amazon) • Happy Monday: Designing Your Dream Career by Nathan Stuck and Visionary Writing (Amazon) • Practice Pathfinder Blueprint by Mathew Jensen (Amazon) • Original Human Beings by Dr. Tim White (just completed, not yet published) • A Café in Paris by Glenn Ritt (Amazon) • The Hypocrisy of the Church by James E. Allen • The Prescription for Overcoming by Dr. Annetta Alexander (Purpose Publishing) • Speak, But Not For Me by Enock Menge (Amazon) • Sun Tzu’s Art of War in The Battlefield of Project Management by Puneet Kuthiala • Three books published by Castle Vale Publishers Ltd. -Stop Overthinking It -Sky Soldiers -The Great UN Reset • Twenty-four Ruthless Romance Novels I am a natural-born proofreader and an excellent candidate for your job. If you send me a message, I can send you my resume and a document with the dedication from the book that New York Times best-selling author Dianna Love dedicated to me and other authors’ acknowledgments. Please send me a few sample pages of your work to edit so you can see how I can help.

If you’ve been reading over the same words so often that they’ve started to lose all meaning, then you could probably use a fresh set of eyes to catch those tiny mistakes. Let me make your life easier by taking some of the load off. I am an enthusiastic freelance copyeditor and proofreader with a passion for language and a mild obsession with collecting grammar books. Alongside an English degree, I have completed multiple proofreading courses, so I know the difference between a hyphen and an em dash. I also have dozens of books and millions of words under my belt, so I have the experience to back my knowledge up. I work as a freelance proofreader for Scribe Media and as an editor/proofreader for international editing companies Proofed Inc. and Grammarly. I also volunteer for Changeling Press, proofreading women’s action/adventure and romance books. Functions I’ve fulfilled include proofreading book covers and back cover copy, localizing translations, and adhering to house-specific style sheets. In my career, I’ve edited an array of manuscripts and genres, including self-help, business/management, romance, fantasy, and historical fiction. My current favorite project is an English translation of a Chinese fantasy-romance serial novel. Consequently, I am comfortable working on all sorts of manuscript topics and lengths. My positions at Scribe and Grammarly often require me to work with a team of editors to ensure consistency across a project so the client receives a quality edit in a timely manner. Time management is an integral part of my job as a freelance editor, which requires me to be flexible while keeping a deadline. I pay attention to the minute details to catch overlooked errors while ensuring that a clean, publishable manuscript is always returned on time. If you’d like to discuss further how I may be able to help, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I would be more than happy to take a proofreading test to prove my skills. I look forward to creating wonderful stories with you!

I retired from the University of Georgia after thirty-two years of service. During the last twenty-three years of my career, I served as the departmental Business Manager III, which was a high-level position directly assisting the department head in the management of the department. I obtained a variety of knowledge and skills during those thirty-two years of service, including extensive experience with human resources procedures such as hiring, orientation, training, evaluating job performance, disciplinary procedures, EOO/affirmative action, management, and supervision. I have many years of experience working with spreadsheets, data entry, payroll, accounting procedures, managing budgets, and assuring proper use of departmental funds. I regularly composed and edited correspondence for the department head, and I have excellent grammar and writing skills. The department head relied on me heavily, and my job was to make his job easier. I consider myself a dedicated, motivated, and organized professional with excellent communication skills. I have used various web-based programs in the past, and I am sharp and quick to learn new skills, programs, and procedures. I most commonly use Microsoft Office, Google Docs, and Adobe. Please contact me if you would like further information about my work experience.
