FREE LANCE COPYEDITING AND PROOFREADING
Hire me as your copyeditor and proofreader. I have experience writing and editing in content areas such as naval history, psychology, humanities and liberal arts, communication skills, self-help, human interest, speech-writing, association activities, biography, memoir, philosophy, and spirituality. I have worked with non-fiction writers and publishers in both the UK and US. While I am familiar with the AP Style Guide, the Chicago Manual of Style, and the style guides for the American Psychological Association and the Modern Humanities Research Association, I can adapt my work to any style guide you (or your publisher) choose.
