Hello! I'm Mike — My superpowers: Copy and line editing. Proofreading. Writing copy. I pay attention to the small details — I have a knack for spotting the miscue that nobody else spots. I can transform complex ideas into clear, elegant language. See what my clients have to say: "I've hired many proofreaders over the years and he was the BEST!" –Sylvia G. "Mike was an exceptional collaborator on my vocabulary book, with edits that were consistently sharp and thoughtful. He not only caught the tiniest of typos and stylistic errors, but also pointed out where entries needed more nuance and -- as a seasoned writing coach -- consistently pushed for clarity, precision, and strength in every sentence. His work made the finished project truly shine." – Robert L. "Michael is a great editor. He communicated well with me and finished the work quickly. I paid him more than we had agreed on initially because I could see the value he brought to the project. I highly recommend him." – Christine F. "Michael provided excellent help with my project — proofreading and copy editing an academic document. I would certainly work with him again for projects that required proofreading or formatting. He displayed a keen eye for detail." – Ewan K. My background: I bring decades of experience in writing and writing instruction, proofreading, editing, and publishing books, stories, large/small writing projects, speeches, presentations, research arguments, blogs, poems, personal narratives, and essays. (I also support the Oxford comma but will humbly bend to your wishes if you do not!) What I can do: 1) Copy editing and proofreading: I have an eagle eye for spotting any kind of error. These might include grammar infractions, verb tense agreement, punctuation, spelling, typos, regionalization (i.e. British/Canadian stylization), capitalization, homonym errors, sentence structure...you name it. I will spot it so we can fix it. I get a thrill when I find the tiny things that most people miss—that odd extra space, lost period, or missing quotation marks. 2) Line editing: I'll help you rework and rephrase complex ideas into simple, elegant, clear sentences. I have an exceptional ear for tone and voice and can preserve your unique style while sharpening and polishing your prose. Line editing is usually performed ahead of the copy editing. I am able to do line and copy editing simultaneously, but depending on the scope and needs of your writing project, it may take longer. 3) Academic research, proofreading/editing: I have an academic background and am adept at helping academics and researchers with academic journal submissions, proofing copy, formatting citations, and adhering to any unique style guides and submission requirements. 4) Developmental editing: I can do "big picture" collaboration and offer feedback for memoir, nonfiction, academic research, literary fiction, poetry, others within my range of expertise and comfort. Extras: I bring over two decades of experience as a master English teacher in American private and public schools. So, I always bring honesty, dependability, flexibility, teachability, and a desire to jump in and learn new things. If I don't know about a topic, I will research and read until I do. I bring tremendous value as a team person and flexible, creative collaborator who can improvise and pivot on a dime to deliver results ahead of your deadline. I have exceedingly high standards for my clients' end products.

My experience rests in content editing, copy editing, proofreading, writing, and book reviewing. I have attained a graduate degree in linguistics. This adds another level to my experience regarding translation, cultural studies, and communication in audible and written formats.

I'm a proofreader and editor for both fiction and non-fiction material. Whether you need a beta reader for your monster erotica, line-editing for a short story, help with structure and pacing for your memoir, or tightening up your business procedure documents for concision and clarity, I can help. SPECIAL: $50 evaluation of your first 3000 words and one page synopsis. Don’t know what’s wrong with your novel? Want to know what could be better? Consider an evaluation of your first 3000 words and one page synopsis. It is often easy for editors, agents, and seasoned readers to be able to tell within the first few pages whether a book is worth buying and reading. Instead of paying for a full manuscript evaluation or developmental edit, a 3000-word evaluation is a less expensive alternative. What you get - • detailed in-document notes containing: o line edits o notes identifying awkward sentence structure, clunky dialogue, thin characterization, grammar mistakes, etc. o editorial suggestions (i.e. where pacing slows, where more interiority is needed, where exposition should be trimmed) • Along with the in-doc notes, you’ll also get a one-page high-level summary of what’s working, areas that could use improvement, and other feedback (i.e., are you starting your novel in the right place?) • Feedback on your synopsis – does the plot make sense? Are there holes? Is the plot a tired trope? Is there not enough going on? Etc. (*A synopsis gives a no-frills beat-by-beat account of your plot from start to finish. This lets me (or an agent or publisher) peek into where the novel is going. And yes, you do reveal everything here, all twists and turns and whodunits. This won’t spoil it. It will allow us to see if you know how to plot a novel, and whether it has merit.) Why you should hire me: - Eight years of proofreading and editing experience delivered with compassion and candor - Ten years of business and financial writing, specializing in procedure and training documentation - Project management from start to finish Rates: (While I am not new to editing, my rates are low since I am new to Upwork and want to build my portfolio.) Developmental Editing – $0.025 per word Line Editing – $0.01 per word Beta Reading - $100 for novels with 80,000 words or fewer; $125 for 80,000 – 120,000 words.
