"Angela was incredible to work with! Her work was timely and accurate. She communicated clearly, kept me in the loop about her progress on the project, and was able to complete two different tasks (beta reading and copyediting) in advance of milestone deadlines." - Author's feedback on a 30K manuscript project.
If you need a copy editor or proofreader: I'm your extra pair of eyes to detect typos, grammatical/syntax errors, confusing sentences or plot holes. Readers can be picky and too many errors can mean the difference between a glowing 5-star review and one that is well... less complimentary.
If you need a beta reader: I provide an in-depth report focusing on characters, plot, pacing, style, flow and any particular concerns you have, to ensure your manuscript meets reader expectations and genre tropes.
My Services:
☑️ Copy editing
☑️ Proofreading
☑️ Developmental editing
☑️ Beta reading
Extra Info:
☑️ Romance specialist but interested in editing and proofreading most genres, including non-fiction
☑️ Native English speaker with a MA in English based in Edinburgh
☑️ 12+ years of writing, copy editing and proofreading experience
☑️ Self-published author
☑️ Timely turnaround (1 week for a 60K word copy edit / proofread)
☑️ Prefer Word.docx using track changes and highlighted comments (but Google Docs OK too)
☑️ Delivery: a tracked changes version and a clean version of your manuscript.
☑️ UK English or US English - either is fine
If you need an experienced, affordable copy editor, proofreader or beta reader with a quick turnaround, contact me for a quote!
