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
