Hello,
Having worked in three non-fiction publishing houses, all in the UK, I am an effective writer and editor with experience in traditional proofing symbols and practice, using Hart’s Rules and relevant dictionaries.
The first publisher I worked with was Amberley Publishing , history and specialist publishers, the next Ghost & Ribbon Publishing, fiction and non-fiction publishers, and then IOP Publishing, physics publishers, editing the work of academics in various fields. I can copyedit a lot of words per hour but it depends on the quality and style to be followed. I am very happy to follow various styles of referencing if necessary and am happy to follow any other styling or language need.
Editing can be done either in Word, Pages or if you need proofing done in hard copy or electronic PDF, I can do that too. Language clarity and improvement can be done as well as checking any typographical or grammatical errors. My degree in English Language & Literature can help there but I cannot impress to you how much my editing experience has helped. I was good at editing and writing before but after 10 years now, I am pretty great. Let me know what you think!
