Copyediting and/or Proofreading

I copyedit and/or proofread a variety of documents for a range of clients. Two of the manuscripts I copyedited have been published (one in India and one in Nepal).

Businesses/Companies

As a professional copyeditor and proofreader, I ensure your documents reflect your style and the writing retains the preferred brand tone. 

Non-Profits/NGOs

My experience as a full-time professional in regional and international NGOs combined with my understanding of the non-profit sector aids my copyediting process.

Non-Fiction Writing

I thoroughly copyedit your manuscript, while retaining your style and tone, in a way that all readers find it engaging and easy to understand.

Academic Writing

Whether you are a PhD candidate or an academic, I copyedit to make sure your writing is clear and consistent, and your audience can follow along. I also make sure that your citations and references match the preferred style requirements.

How I work

1Learning about you and your work
I start by learning about you, your writing, your readers, and what you want your writing to achieve. Our discussion will help me better understand your requirements and ensure that my copyediting and/or writing is tailored to suit your specific needs.
2Finalising terms and conditions
Once we have decided on your requirements and my role, we finalise the scope of work, timeline, and fees (usually priced per word). I may consider other pricing models (a one-time or a monthly payment) based on a case-by-case approach.
3The process
My process typically involves two rounds. At the end of the first round, I send my comments and questions, if any. I also prepare a style sheet, which includes preferred language (US/UK), word choices, etc. The queries and comments can be resolved via email or over a call, if necessary. After the second (or final) round, I send you a final document. Please note than non-fiction manuscripts typically require more than two rounds.
4Final submission
I will send the final work to you when we are 100% happy with the finished piece. I, most commonly, send submissions via email or a highly secure cloud-based storage solution. I am also happy to send the work by any other reasonable method that you may suggest.
