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.

Hello! Welcome to my Upwork profile. My name is Abigail, and I am a writer and trained editor. My current focus in editing encompasses magazines, textbooks, curricula, as well as both fiction and non-fiction literature.
As a detail-oriented professional, I strive to highlight the best aspects of your projects. My services include copy editing, where I focus on correcting spelling, punctuation, grammar, and syntax errors. Additionally, I offer developmental editing, which can start during the brainstorming phase to help you clearly define and develop your ideas. If you already have a draft, a developmental edit at that stage will facilitate the refinement of your writing and enhance its overall style.
I am open to a diverse array of projects and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific needs. Please feel free to reach out to me; I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you.
