"Megan does great work - in addition to being a superb editor and working with us like partner on our project, she is punctual, thorough, and has great communication." — Client feedback on Bible study project My goal as a copy editor and proofreader is to make sure the ideas in your book are clear and easy to read so you are confident about sharing it with the world. I will ensure your text remains in your voice and style while refining your content and removing any errors that might distract your readers from the encouragement or information you want to give them. While I enjoy working on a variety of texts, I specialize in Christian books, including memoirs, educational books, novels, and a devotional. Secular books I have edited include mystery, sci-fi, and adventure novels; picture books; and self-help titles. I have experience helping many new authors to reach their publishing goals. I will communicate with you in a clear, friendly, and encouraging way. I will make corrections and give you honest feedback, but you will make the final decisions on your work. I can also write your book description or help you craft one that will attract readers by giving them a taste of what your book offers. QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism and English, and I worked as a copy editor at a daily newspaper for three years. While I have no formal Bible training, I do have a good layman’s knowledge of the Bible from my personal reading and participating in and leading studies. I am trained in Associated Press (AP) style. I also have the Chicago Manual of Style (18th edition) and the Christian Writer's Manual of Style (4th edition) as additional references. I am a vetted member of the Christian Editor Connection. PREFERRED PROJECTS Currently, I am only taking on new projects that are books. I am most interested in working on novels and Christian books, but I can help you polish any book and work toward your publishing goals. I am happy to work with authors or publishing companies.

If you need someone who's reliable, communicative and committed to delivering exceptional work, then you've found the right person. Here’s what to expect if you hire me for proofreading and editing: ✔️ Accuracy, clarity and attention to detail ✔️ Prompt and straightforward communication ✔️ A quick turnaround without compromising on quality Contact me and I'll ensure that your text is as perfect as possible. Isabelle Anne Abraham === SERVICE DESCRIPTION === 1. I'll first take a look at your document to determine which level of editing it requires: 🔸 Proofreading (polishing) Before your writing is published, it needs a final review—beyond a simple spellcheck. I’ll correct typographical errors (typos/misprints) as well as formatting errors in spacing, headings, page numbers, captions, table of contents, footnotes, etc. I'll double-check design elements, and if specified, I’ll also ensure that the text conforms to a style guide. 🔸 Light editing (adjusting) Also known as copy-editing, this is usually what most people require. I’ll correct spelling, grammar, punctuation and problems with syntax / sentence structure. I’ll also check for consistency in style and tone, making sure that the text is concise and flows smoothly. 🔸 Heavy editing (overhauling) Others refer to this as line editing or content editing. Whatever you want to call it, this includes any or all of the following: heavy editing, rewording and sometimes structural editing. I also check for ambiguities, repetitiveness, inappropriate diction, etc. Although I don't offer complete rewrites, I can rephrase where necessary—while maintaining your voice and keeping your target reader in mind. 2. Select a style guide to be applied to your text: • Associated Press Stylebook (AP 2017) • Chicago Manual of Style (CMoS 17th ed.) • In-house style guide (if you have one) • New Oxford Style Manual (2016) • Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA 7th ed.) 3. Choose American English or British English. I've worked with both throughout my life, so either can be used for your specific audience. 4. Pick a platform on which you'd like me to work: • MS Word (using Track Changes if requested), Excel or PowerPoint • A basic text editor like Notepad • Google Docs (using Suggestions mode if requested) • Adobe Acrobat Reader (using the Comment tools) • Directly in your CMS (Google Sites, Squarespace, Weebly, Wix, WordPress) • Print, correct and scan (for an extra fee) === WORK TERMS === ◆ I'm available for up to 30 hours a week, including weekends. ◆ Urgent deadlines can be prioritized—preferably with advance notice. ◆ I can work on both short- and long-term projects, with individuals or teams. ◆ Confidentiality is guaranteed; I'm willing to sign an NDA before commencing the work. ◆ I prefer communicating through Upwork, email or online collaboration tools (Basecamp, Slack, Trello, Wrike, etc.). === PROOFREADING & EDITING BACKGROUND + PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE === I’m a native English speaker and have always been interested in the written word. I started editing in primary school, where a few classmates would pay me to check their homework before they submitted it to the teacher! I earned my Bachelor of Journalism from Rhodes University in South Africa, where I specialized in Writing & Editing, majored in English Literature, and took a course in English Language & Linguistics. Additionally, I was part of the campus newspaper's editorial team as a chief sub-editor and subsequently deputy editor-in-chief. Since then, I've collaborated with numerous authors, businesses and other professionals to make their writing as flawless as it can be. The variety of projects that I've worked on includes: • Flyers, brochures, emails and letters • Federal government bids and grant proposals • Academic papers (essays, dissertations, theses, etc.) • Scientific articles, technical reports and product manuals • Mobile apps, video scripts, online courses and card games • Legal documents such as contracts and patent applications • Ebooks, printed books (non-fiction) and children’s literature • Translations and texts written by non-native English speakers • Blogs, news articles, website content and marketing materials • CVs/resumes, cover letters, personal statements and LinkedIn profiles • Business plans & presentations, pitch decks, white papers and case studies === ADDITIONAL EDITORIAL SERVICES === • Content management: managing publishing schedules; assigning content to writers and providing them with feedback • Style guide development: creating an in-house style guide or improving/expanding an existing one • Search engine optimization in WordPress: adding sub-headings, titles, tags, image texts, meta description, focus keyword; improving SEO and Readability score • Writing: articles and blog content (with attribution) • Transcribing: verbatim or edited transcripts for a range of English accents

Hi! Welcome to my profile. For more than 30 years, I have been a professional fiction and nonfiction editor and proofreader. In addition to six in-house years with a publisher, I have more than twenty years of freelance experience and have worked with publishers, companies, and writers all over the world. As a Chicago style expert, I edit and proofread fiction (all genres, children's, YA, and adult) and nonfiction (educational and marketing materials, business books, and self-help books). With a strong background in fiction editing, I am--unlike many editors--an expert at dialogue punctuation and paragraph breaks. I edit MS Word documents using track changes, PDF files using Adobe's highlight/note function, and hard copy using the old-fashioned red pen. If you hire me, you'll get a detail- and deadline-oriented editor and proofreader who is easy to work with.
