Book & Magazine Editor

EDITING YOUR WRITING:

Since 2003, I have line-edited books and other writing projects for dozens of writers, including many through the Book Passage “Path to Publishing Program.” Similar to copy editing, line editing is going line-by-line through a manuscript to check for consistency, correct grammar, punctuation, etc.

I have line-edited magazine articles, short stories, newsletters and about 30 books, including nonfiction titles on politics, history and psychology; several memoirs; several fiction and science-fiction novels; Bay Area Travel Writers anthologies in 2014, 2015 and 2016; an award-winning book on Greek theatre; and God, Seed, a poetry collection that won a 2011 Indie Excellence award.

I enjoy this work and would be happy to line-edit what you’ve written. I am familiar with both AP and Chicago Style. I can also do basic proofreading. Hourly rate and references on request.
