| My services include copyediting and proofreading a wide variety of documents in both electronic and printed form. I help my clients develop high-quality materials that are well organized, clear, concise, consistent, and accurate. For electronic editing, I work in Microsoft Word on a Windows-based PC. I am proficient in using Word's change-tracking and comments features for author review of my edits and for author queries. I can also handle cleanup of edited and reviewed files. I have broadband access to the Internet and can exchange files by using e-mail or FTP. I am skilled in applying the style guidelines of The Chicago Manual of Style and publishers' house style, and I customarily maintain a detailed list of the specific styles used in each project I edit. I also can develop project-specific style guides for corporate clients. I specialize in nonfiction topics, including business management, human resources, corporate communications, and computer technology. My previous work experience in the computer field gave me broad knowledge of operating systems, programming languages, applications, databases, and networking strategies, which helps me understand the use of technical terms in context. I am also able to smooth the writing of those whose native language is not English by applying idiomatic American English to an author's style. My fees depend on the scope and duration of your project. I will review a representative sample of your materials to determine the degree of effort required. I also will discuss your needs and expectations with you. For more information or to request a free consultation for your project, send e-mail to Debby English at debby@english-edit.com.
