Copyediting and Development Services for Non-fiction
Sizzle and pop are not just for fiction works. Textbooks, academic research, newsletters and other non-fiction writing hankers after the same appeal to the imagination to be successful.
That is where a keen and professional editor, in sync with the author’s purposes, can transform a piece of writing through
- careful attention to detail
- fact-checking and clarifying
- structural and substantive editing
- close attention to language, grammar and punctuation
- making complex argument accessible for lay readers; and
- rewriting copy, if needed, in sympathy with both native and non-native voices in English.
With almost two decades of experience in textbook and academic research and publishing, I am attuned to the rhythms of literature reviews, workbook activities, figures and graphs that clarify and punctuate, and the potential of long, complex arguments to sing, carrying the author’s message across in an effortless and enjoyable manner.
On top of this I offer an engaged and buoyant efficiency that delights in getting the job done on time to a high standard.
As a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, I abide by industry standards in the services provided.
Whether you are a publisher, author, student, researcher or charity looking for copy-editing services to make your non-fiction sing, contact me for a discussion of your project needs or a fee quote.
