Project details
You will get a thorough and personalized proofread of your manuscript. I will focus on any issues you are particularly concerned with, and I can follow any style or usage guidelines you have. I do not use any technical programs to perform the proofreading, but will meticulously read through your manuscript myself two times.
I am currently a freelance copy editor, proofreader, manuscript reviewer, and beta reader. I have successfully worked with many different genres including self-help, business, fantasy, science fiction, romance, and more. I have self-published books on KDP, and have worked with many self-published authors. I have a passion for helping authors working on their own to publish their work.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Comparative Literature and a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science, where I studied academic writing, read and studied books in many different genres, built bibliographies, and worked with different formatting styles. I have proofread books and documents in Word, Google Docs, and Adobe. My lifelong passion for reading has given me excellent vocabulary, proofreading, and composition skills, which I hope to use for your manuscript.

Beta reader for a new medical terminology textbook
Lacy helped us with a beta read of a new textbook and was communicative and returned the work by the agreed upon deadline. She also asked questions when she had them, which I appreciated!
