Hi, my name is Fahmida, and I am a qualified fiction editor and proofreader with 4+ years of experience. I was a teacher with 15 years of experience before I completed my certification from SA Writer’s College, which is a certified institute, with branches both in the UK and New Zealand. I am always revising and learning my craft, so what does that mean? It means, I read the latest books on writing and editing, attend writing and editing workshops, and make sure I am always reading fiction books. How does this help my craft? Well, it means I understand 3 or 4 act-structure, and can identify pacing and flow issues, as well as character growth and tension. I am particularly good at editing romance and would consider it my niche genre to work in. As a fiction editor, I offer the following services: - Developmental editing - Copy Editing - Proofreading - Line Editing - Plot review I work with all genres excluding sci-fi and horror. While we speak and write British English in South Africa, many of my clients are from the USA, so I am well conversant in American English spelling and grammar differences, and I can edit according to the Chicago Manual of Style, as well as the Oxford Style Guide.
