About Me

I am a professional writer, editor and proofreader. I offer services ranging from ghost writing non fiction books, to writing grant proposals, to proofreading your own work for errors and typos.

Payment Terms

50% of payment is expected at the acceptance of the project, with the other 50% paid upon completion of project. Open to all suggestions and negotiation for payment and pricing.

Detailed Service Description

I am currently an editor for a publishing company in Boston. Previously I was a professional proofreader/copyeditor at a production house.

I am very familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style and MLA citation. I have experience proofreading both design and content. On a daily basis I proof for design consistency, including font, typeface, spacing, headers and footers, page layouts, spreads, TOCs, Indexes, Appendices, and sizing and placement of images.

I also copyedit for grammar, accuracy of content, sentence structure, syntax and style, and cross reference page numbers and in-text callouts. If requested, I also verify references. For clarity in markups, I work in Adobe Acrobat, 7.0 Professional or in MS Word with all changes being tracked.

Subjects I work on include foreign language books (Spanish, German, French, and ESL), Socioloy, Politics, History, Law, Computers and Technology, Physics, English Grammar, Writing, basic Math, and more.
