For Publishers

Copy Editing

I have experience copy editing across several genres and imprints, including children’s, young adult, adult nonfiction, reference, gift, calendar, and reference texts. I am experienced using Chicago Manual of Style, and I regularly blend CMS rules with publishing house rules across several projects to achieve clarity and consistency.

• Heavy fact checking

• Manuscript styling/technical editing and formatting

• Citation research/formatting

• Editing across series titles for consistency

• Style sheet creation and management

Proofreading

I have experience proofreading both text- and design-heavy projects. I love reading through developed projects as a traditional reader and suggesting areas for improvement in how information is presented on the page.

• Checking complex styling/page flows

• Proofreading across series titles for consistency

• Artwork/text comparisons

project Management

I started out in publishing as a project manager for educational publishers. I absolutely love coordinating production of complex titles with many stakeholders providing input.

• Production scheduling

• Offshore production team management

• Author management

• Design/art team management

• Project review facilitation and management

• Budget management

• Managing text translations

• Ebook production

• Art coordination
