As a published author and top rated plus freelancer, I have over ten years of experience in editing, from basic proofreading and copy editing to deep line edits and developmental commentary. I have written ten novels across a wide range of genres, multiple screenplays, and am currently the lead writer for a dark fantasy comic. Readers consistently praise my writing for the nuanced, realistic characters, quick dialogue, and exciting action, all of which I bring to my line editing projects. Line editing is my passion, although I am available for creative writing when it comes to screenplays and video games.

I provide a wide range of writing and editing services: proofreading, copy editing, grammar and syntax review, content rewriting, line editing, and developmental editing of academic, nonfiction, financial, tax, and legal projects. I also index books, record for Radio Talking Books and record audiobooks for Audible and Librivox. Since 2020 I have edited more than a dozen nonfiction books, three book-length dissertations, more than 50 academic journal articles, numerous masterโ€™s theses and other shorter works, and several white papers. As a retired attorney, judge, and business school professor, I've applied my expertise to subjects ranging from an analysis of the UK's system of dual-class shares, to whether the legal definition of genocide should encompass political grounds, to the environmental aspects of fast fashion, and everything in between. I recently edited and indexed a book on the unique problems of employing those with criminal histories, which was published in 2024 by Springer Nature. I have also edited nearly a dozen travel and how-to books for CZYK Publishing, an independent publisher in the United States. I have extensive experience, and particular expertise, in working with clients for whom English is a second (or third) language. I edit in MS Word and return for each project a redline with my suggested edits and explanatory comments and, when appropriate, a clean copy ready for use. I have also edited in Google Docs and in Adobe. I have certificates in editing from the University of Washington and from the University of Chicago, a doctorate in accounting/business/economics from the University of Minnesota, and a law degree from the University of Michigan. I would love to speak with you about how I can help you make your writing clear, concise, and compelling. As a first step, let's schedule an interview to discuss your project!

I love to read, organize things, and help people fix their problems. I combine these interests to smooth out your manuscript with proofreading, copy-editing, and formatting to present your text in a form easily read and understood. I do not do developmental editing, but when I copyedit, I'm highly aware of content mistakes and missteps and will alert you to these. My favorite assignments are fixed-price, non-fiction projects; Iโ€™m open to both long-term and short-term contracts and will edit any document size.

โ€œFantastic workโ€”an expert in her field and phenomenal at her craft.โ€ This is just one of many top reviews from numerous satisfied clients. These reviews reflect my decades of professional editing experience, built on the foundation of my Masterโ€™s degree in English Studies and subsequent teaching proficiency at the secondary and college levels. I began my career as a senior editor for a highly regarded publishing house and later served as a corporate managing editor. As a freelance editor, Iโ€™ve had the privilege of working on hundreds of books and documents for publishers, independent authors, and a wide range of professionalsโ€”including attorneys, engineers, scientists, technology experts, nonprofit organizations, and more. Working with these clients has made my work both meaningful and rewarding. I also bring more than ten years of experience in the legal field as a legal administrative assistant, paralegal (with a paralegal certificate), and contract administrator. Because of this background, I am especially comfortable editing legal documents and working with attorneys. My technical editing background includes journal articles, white papers, reports, theses, and dissertations. Citation formatting is one of my specialties. I am highly experienced with The Chicago Manual of Style and APA and can easily adapt to other style guides. In addition to editing, I am the author of numerous middle-grade books, primarily biographies and historical topics. (You can find my books by searching โ€œSue Vander Hookโ€ on Amazon.) My experience as an author gives me a deep appreciation for the writing process and the importance of thoughtful, careful editing. My experience and expertise can make your words and voice resonate and rise to an exceptional level. With great collaboration and communication, we can accomplish your goals together.
