Years of Work Experience

Hi! I am Sarita!

I founded The Orange Box to help transform your beautiful writing into a finished manuscript. Completing your writing does not automatically create a finished piece. No matter how many times you read your own writing, it can be challenging to spot every error, misplaced punctuation mark, or awkward sentence. Whether you need basic proofreading or copyediting, as a seasoned professional copyeditor, I step in to make sure your sentences hit the spot as you intended them to. I carefully go through every word to make sure the entire manuscript is clear and consistent.

Write to me here and let's discuss your project!

See what your writing can achieve with human insight, expertise, and creativity!

In the age of AI, it is important to retain the human touch to ensure your writing is sensitive, nuanced, and free of data biases. While AI can be a great tool, a human eye understands contextual and cultural nuances better than any AI tool does.

Copyediting and writing are creative processes that humans are better placed to do. As a copyeditor, through years of experience, I have gained domain expertise and resolved issues that an AI tool may not be experienced in.

Comprehensive Copyediting

If you hire me for comprehensive editing, I will enhance your writing via copyediting, that is stylistic editing.
✔ I will carefully check if the sentences, paragraphs, and sections flow smoothly throughout your writing. I will clarify meaning, eliminate jargon, refine language, and fix awkward word choices and sentence structures.
✔ My copyediting process also includes line-by-line editing for smoothness and clarity and rewriting/rephrasing of sentences where needed to ensure that your writing conveys exactly what you intend to. While some copyeditors separate the process of line-by-line editing and copyediting, I offer them as a part of comprehensive copyediting.
✔ Depending on the length of the document, I also create a handy stylesheet to document the formatting and language (US/UK English) preferences, and a list of places and terms.

Proofreading

If you hire me for proofreading, I will identify and correct spelling and grammar errors, typos, punctuation errors, inconsistent usage of terms (for example, high-density vs high density), and inconsistent formatting.

HOW I WORK

1. Learning about your work

I start by learning about you and your work to understand your needs and your target audience.

My process of copyediting typically involves two rounds of copyediting. Please note that non-fiction manuscripts typically require more than two rounds.

We finalise the scope of work, timeline, and fees (usually priced per word).


4. Final Submission

I will send the final work to you only when we both are 100% happy with the finished piece.
