    Hello authors, publishers and businesses looking for a friendly, trained editor! I've edited 100+ fiction and nonfiction books, plus reports, web content and more. I'm also: - a graduate of the University of Oxford - an Advanced Professional Member (highest level) of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) - a Partner Member of the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi). I love helping self-published authors, publishers and businesses to produce work of an exceptional standard. My clients include independent publishers, authors and companies like The Royal Mint. I read French at the University of Oxford and have lived and worked in France, hence the specialist arm to my business of editing books set in France, but I work on all kinds of other books too, including mysteries and thrillers, historical fiction and memoirs/biographies. I'm putting the finishing touches to my debut novel, a mystery set in the south of France, which I plan to self-publish later this year (2025). I also have extensive experience with web content on a variety of platforms so can edit through the lens of SEO, web accessibility and user experience. I'm the author of 'Improve Your Author Website' and 'Improve Your Editor Website'. Drop me a line so we can have a no-obligation chat about your project! SERVICES I offer the following: - Line editing – I will carefully work through your manuscript line by line to improve word choice, flow and sentence structure, while taking care to retain your unique author’s voice. - Copyediting – I will check for a broad range of problems, including errors in grammar, spelling and punctuation, the flow of language and issues of style. I will also carry out a degree of fact-checking. - Proofreading – I will work on your proof once it's been designed and typeset, checking for errors that have crept in during revision, plus issues with formatting, layout, page numbering, headers, footers, table of contents and more. - Website editing and proofreading – I have an extensive background in web marketing. I can line-edit and copyedit your web text before you upload it to your site, then proofread your webpages. I will also make suggestions to improve your site's SEO, accessibility and usability. - Edit of your first 10,000 words – I will carry out a detailed edit at the level of your choice (line edit, copyedit, or a combination of the two). You will receive a bespoke style sheet and an editorial report detailing areas of strength and suggestions for improvement. - Sample edits – Try before you buy. Simply provide a sample of up to 2,500 words, and for a small fee (taken off the full-edit cost if you hire me), I’ll provide an edit or proofread and a short editorial report containing advice that you can apply to your whole book. SUBJECTS AND GENRES I edit fiction, non-fiction and web content. I enjoy working on a variety of topics and genres, but am especially interested and experienced in the following: - Books set in France – My MA in French from the University of Oxford and my experience of living and working in different regions of France will benefit your book - Thrillers and mysteries – I have written a mystery novel and studied the craft of writing, story structure, plot and character arcs - Memoirs and biographies – I find other people's lives inspiring and fascinating, and will bring the principles of story craft to your book - Historical fiction – I enjoy the research involved! I also have an A-Level in Early Modern History and read historical fiction during leisure time - Websites – Any topic! I worked in the field of web for almost 20 years and am the author of 'Improve Your Author Website' and 'Improve Your Editor Website'. WHAT YOU WILL GET I'll begin by gathering your full requirements to ensure I deliver exactly what you need. I will continue to communicate with you throughout our project and will deliver high-quality work on time, with full tracked changes and comments on reasons for suggested changes where needed. You are in control the whole time and do not have to accept all/any of my suggestions! I always carefully read through text at least twice to ensure I capture as many issues as possible. I'll produce a style sheet, unique to your project, that details style decisions made (including grammar, spelling and punctuation). If you're a fiction writer, the style sheet will also include a descriptive list of characters, locations and the timeline of your book to ensure consistency. My rates strongly reflect the effort I'll put into your project and the high quality of work I'll produce. It takes time to painstakingly check copy for errors, flow, consistency and style standards; this work cannot be rushed. GET IN TOUCH Please contact me if I sound like a good fit for your editing project!

    My background encompasses a wide range of online and print work for corporate, government and higher education organisations in both the US and UK. I’ve edited and proofread everything from website content, customer brochures and blog posts to articles and press releases. I'm also an Intermediate Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP). An editor once said I can ‘make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear’. I enjoy the challenge of breathing life into a piece that may be a little technical or flat and turning it into something that will really grab an audience. Equally important, my words are accessible while avoiding trivialising or over-simplifying complex issues. Capturing an organisation’s tone of voice is also a crucial part of my work, and I have a proven track record in effective and consistent communication that stays true to the ethos of my clients. I believe in working with my clients in an open and honest manner, offering experience and advice where I can—and learning from them in equal measure. Beyond editing and proofreading, I also bring project management skills and the flexibility to work independently or as part of a team. I'm well-versed in using content management systems (WordPress, Squiz, Tridion) and can review your text from an SEO (search engine optimisation) and a web accessibility standards viewpoint. And I’ve never failed to meet a deadline. So what needs to get done gets done—on time. I was a Miami Herald columnist at 16 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications. After I moved to the UK in 2005, my work expanded to include writing and editing print and digital communications for private sector companies and UK government (including the Office for National Statistics and National Strategies). I've recently worked with universities such as Cardiff University, Swansea University, UWE Bristol and Middlesex University London. I’ve also written for Slate, Stylist, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Nerve, The Guardian: Cardiff blog, among others. My short stories have appeared in Open Pen and The Timberline Review.

    My name's Nick, an editor by day and an author by night. I generally prowl the darker side of fiction, specialising in supernatural horror and dark fantasy. Werewolves and other shapeshifters are my favourite subject matter, but I'm game for any speculative fiction, from dystopian sci-fi to high fantasy. I'm an editor for Twisted Fate Publishing, a spec fic indie publisher based in the UK, and I've also been freelancing for a number of years now, with over ten years' experience as a professional proofreader and five years as a professional editor. My passion is to take a piece of writing and help the author forge it into the very best it can be, working together to take any weaker elements and strengthen them into a masterpiece. Whether it's a basic proofread you're looking for or something more in depth, I can help. Services: Proofreading - The final quality check before a manuscript goes to print, fixing any typos, punctuation errors and grammatical errors. I will also check for consistency in elements such as indentation, spacing, headings, etc. and am happy to work with both American English and British English. Line Edits - A more in depth check than proofreading, I will look at the structure of your sentences for any areas that could be tightened up, better word choices, telling where you could be showing, word repetition, etc. Developmental Editing - The most in depth level of editing, where I will work with you to enhance the structure of your manuscript, focusing on plot, characterisation (or characterization in the US!) and pacing. Testimonials: 'Nick Stead's editing and proofreading skills are meticulous. His eye for detail has improved my prose regardless of genre, and his work ethic is the very definition of professional. If I had any queries, Nick was prompt in his reply as well as clear and accommodating. I would say he is one of the best in the business that I have worked with so far.' - Owen Townend, author of The Ambler's Landing Trilogy. 'Nick did a great job on proofreading and editing my book, would highly recommend!' - Francine Woodward, Author of The Circus Wolfman. 'Nick has a great feel for dramatic tension and atmosphere, and a knack for making small but telling comments that improve a text without getting in the way of the author’s voice. He provided very helpful comments on a story of mine – now published. Nick’s suggestions helped me improve the ending and tighten up the pacing and description throughout.' - Tim Taylor, author of Zeus of Ithome and Revolution Day. 'As an aspiring writer, it is a privilege to have the benefit of a published author’s advice. Nick has kindly given me lots of helpful feedback on my historical novel with a supernatural theme. This has enabled my own writing to be sharper and more purposeful, achieving the effect I desire – to provide entertainment for my readers, and scare them as if they were there. Nick is excellent at getting to the nub of the action. He knows what works and how to organise a scene for maximum effect. He has shared some of his experience and knowledge to support my growing manuscript leaving me more confident that I can present it, when completed, in a much better shape than it was, to a potential publisher. Thanks, Nick!' - Sara Burgess, author of The House on Hall Road. 'Nick provided invaluable help when I was trying to turn an idea into a novel - his encouragement and guidance helped make this a reality. As a first time author, it was fantastic to not only get an honest proofread of my then WIP but to have this done by a seasoned author in his own right. Some people talk the talk, but I can honestly say Nick also walks the walk. His proofreading showed that he’s been there and done that, however, Nick is happy to bring these skills to the fore while remaining down to earth and supportive. The great thing about Nick is that he critiques without being critical and regularly sees through the fog of a first draft to offer invaluable advice. I have since worked with Nick on a number of projects and intend to continue working with Nick in the future. Nick is definitely the A-team and certainly the real deal.' - CM Angus - Author of Overstrike (published by Elsewhen Press)
