I am a copyeditor with almost twenty years' experience editing fiction and nonfiction book manuscripts following these style guides:
- The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS 17 and 18)
- University of Oxford Style Guide
- American Psychological Association Publication Manual
With editing fiction, experience and a genuine love for the written word have helped me become adept at balancing style rules/conventions and an author's voice and style. (I'm happy to provide a sample edit of two pages of text.)
In addition to book manuscripts, I have edited/proofread a few research papers for researchers affiliated with or funded by the ETC Group and RMIT University.
Sample: -----------). .
Over the years, I have upgraded my skills courtesy of these jobs:
- Line and developmental editing projects
- Copywriting/content writing
(Topics covered: journaling, multifactor authentication, interior
design/decor, marketing, publishing, and writing)
Although I wasn't responsible for SEO in my writing jobs, I am familiar with how search engine optimization works, and I am working on expanding my knowledge.
I am also open to other options like data entry, typing, and VA jobs.
