Finding your first editor or a new editor can be a scary experience . . . You have a book manuscript that needs line editing and copyediting. Maybe you’re a new author and have never worked with an editor before. Or you’re a seasoned writer and need a re-edit due to a previous bad editing experience. • You want your readers to have a good experience with your book. • You want your content to be error-free. • You want your Amazon reviews to praise your excellent content rather than focus on grammar and spelling mistakes, poor sentence structure, repetition, or inconsistencies in your storyline. • You need someone who can really focus on the details, cohesiveness, and flow of your book. • You want an editor who’s responsive and focuses on YOUR writing and YOUR needs and keeps YOUR voice…and one who doesn’t disappear immediately after the initial edit. You have invested a lot of time and energy into your book — and your editor should be willing to do the same. My years as an English teacher and an editor will ensure that you end up with a manuscript you can be proud of. I look forward to working together to fine-tune your book before publication! ========= Line Editing ========= Good writing is more than just good grammar. The focus of line editing is on the words in your book and how they’re put together. A line edit looks at creative content, writing style, and language use at both sentence and paragraph levels and can include edits for: • Flow • Readability • Repetition • Clarity • Word Choice & Wordiness • Awkward Phrasing • Tense consistency • Point of View • General Consistency • Dialogue Issues ========== Copyediting ========== Copyediting is a lighter form of editing that involves getting things right mechanically. When doing a copyedit, I dig into each sentence on its own to be sure there are no errors, focusing mainly on syntax and grammar rather than the manuscript as a whole. This is best done after a line edit, when you're confident that your book as a whole reads well but you'd like to be sure your final product is professionally polished. All edits are made with the intention of keeping your voice intact throughout your book. Your content will be edited on time, according to your specified deadline. All edits will be made using Track Changes in Microsoft Word. When I find errors in consistency, awkward phrasing, or plot issues, I'll leave a comment explaining the problem so that you know what needs to be addressed. The initial edit will be returned to you so that you can review my changes and either accept or reject them as you choose. My fee always includes a second read-through after you've had a chance to accept/reject/question the edits I've made. I am committed to your complete satisfaction and getting your project finished on time and within budget! See my portfolio for some samples from books I have edited!

Already in my teenage years, people often asked me for advice on writing and to proofread their pieces, from shorts emails to long essays. I always enjoyed helping them, which was partly how I knew that working with texts is my true vocation: — Proofreading suits me because in addition to a deep passion for the English language, I have an extremely keen eye for detail and a profound knowledge of English grammar (including syntax, punctuation, spelling, etc.). — Line editor is a role I utterly thrive in. Impeccable sentence structure and appropriate word choices are only two of the many aspects I improve. — When I copy edit your material, you can expect enhanced clarity, flow, cohesion, readability, and consistency, as well as preservation of the author's tone, maintaining voice and style throughout. — I excel at translating between Swedish and English. University education in translation studies, as well as in Swedish/English translation specifically, equipped me with tools that have been invaluable in working professionally with translation. — My level of proficiency in both languages enables me to perform outstanding localization and expertly revise translations, whether it be MTPE or human-made. — As can be seen in my rewriting/rephrasing and crafting of texts with certain keywords, I am a brilliant, clever wordsmith.

As a former Senior Editor of children's books at Scholastic and Disney, I've worked with first-time authors as well as award-winning and best-selling authors and illustrators. I have worked as a professional in the field for over 20 years and have a wealth of experience in pinpointing each manuscript's strengths and weaknesses and guiding creators on how to improve their project. From picture books to young adult novels, fiction and nonfiction, I can help you craft a book that will engage readers. I also have experience editing ebooks and apps, and have worked as an author for select clients. Fees for a line edit and editorial letter: Picture books up to 1000 words: $125-400, depending on length Chapter books: $500 and up Novels: $1000 and up Whether you are looking for editorial feedback on an existing manuscript or need help to further develop an idea, collaborating with authors is my passion.

My areas of expertise are line editing, copy editing, and proofreading. I do the copy editing and the final read for the New York Times best-selling author Dianna Love and many other authors. I have been working for Dianna for over fourteen years. She writes romance/fantasy fiction, crime thrillers, and young adult fantasy fiction. I do the copy editing, finding 95% of the mistakes. Then a couple of others proofread it, and I come in and do the final read and ensure it is 100% clean and error-free. I do all the steps for the other authors I work with. In addition to copy editing and proofreading, I am also an excellent writer. I once helped a first-time author who had a great story but literally needed every sentence rewritten. That was one extreme. All the authors I have worked with have published their work. I have been fortunate to develop a fantastic rapport with every author I have ever worked with. Great communication is very important. I have a sharp eye for detail and work very quickly. I am very familiar with The Chicago Manual of Style and APA Style. If you want a flat rate, I receive between $.035 and $.05 per word. This platform seems to pay by the hour. My normal hourly rate is between $35 and $50. This is my process. I do the first read (copy editing and line editing) using the tracking feature on Microsoft Word and find 95% of the mistakes. I will send it to you to accept/reject the edits and respond to the comments. You don’t have to accept every edit. It is more important that you reject the edits that you DON’T want and respond to the comments/questions. Then, you will return it to me for a second read (proofreading). I will begin with a clean copy and read it again. We will continue this process (usually only two reads are required) until your document is 100% clean and error-free. The time to complete the project is based on how many words are in the document and how quickly you return the first read to me. I have done copy editing and proofreading for over eighteen novels by the New York Times best-selling author Dianna Love. Some of the other books that I have worked on include: • 70 50 10: The Journey to an Entrepreneurial Legacy by Mike Russell and Visionary Writing (Amazon) • Black Diamond: The Fourth Missing Bullet by B. Frank Hall (Amazon) • Can God Use Me? by Kristine Kimmel (soon to be on Amazon) • Courage for America by Jackie Arnold (Amazon) • Mulberry Creek by Harry Bach (Amazon) • Five Indelible Men by S. Z. Mustafa (Amazon) • Ikhla’s Butterfly by S. Z. Mustafa (Amazon) • Money Laundering and Compliance in Football by Ibrahim ElOraby (Amazon) • Happy Monday: Designing Your Dream Career by Nathan Stuck and Visionary Writing (Amazon) • The Best Adventure Ever by Mathew Jensen (Amazon) • Practice Pathfinder Blueprint: 12 Incredibly Easy Steps to Building Your Dream Dental Practice by Mathew Jensen (Amazon) • Lifemap for Teens by Mathew Jensen (Amazon) • Original Human Beings by Dr. Tim White (just completed, not yet published) • A Café in Paris by Glenn Ritt (Amazon) • The Hypocrisy of the Church by James E. Allen • Speak, But Not For Me by Enock Menge (Amazon) • Sun Tzu’s Art of War in The Battlefield of Project Management by Puneet Kuthiala • Three books published by Castle Vale Publishers Ltd. -Stop Overthinking It -Sky Soldiers -The Great UN Reset • Twenty Ruthless Romance novels I am a natural-born proofreader. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Management Science from Georgia Institute of Technology with a 3.6. Please send me a few pages of your work as a sample so you can see what I can do.
