Professional book editor, copyeditor and proofreader


Recommended Posts

Hello

I am a professional book editor and proofreader. Having worked as an editor for a large publisher for eight years, I have edited and proofread over 500 books including nine Sunday Times bestsellers. The last three years, I have commissioned a wide range of non-fiction so I understand what commissioning editors are looking for in a manuscript.

Whether you have just completed your first draft of a novel and are looking for independent feedback or you need someone to do a final proofread of your promotional brochure, I can help. Without exception, I feel the invisible hand of an editor is essential to any successful piece of writing. My fees are competitive and proofreading starts from ?7 per 1000 words.

Please send me a DM to discuss your needs. References available on request.

Thank you,

Jane

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
