Editing services-up to 10000 words

15


15 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 22, 2017

I will provide editorial services for shorter works, fiction and nonfiction.
Editing consists of multiple levels depending on client needs.
Proofreading-
I will correct any spelling mistakes, typos, or other word errors contained in the work.
Copyediting-
I will revise and offer advice for any sentences that don't fit with the work, faulty parallelisms, and thematic continuity.
I will also correct and offer revisions for grammatical errors.
Line edit-
I will offer revisions and advice for paragraph structure, sentence variety, consistency, and flow.
This will also address transition errors, sentence length errors (in paragraph context), overuse of jargon, and inappropriate usage of adjectives.
Structural Edit-
-Overall flow and continuity will be addressed. This can be done in several ways. Depending on the work, clarity and continuity of the overall piece will be addressed as part of the whole work instead of at the paragraph level. If a fiction work includes characters, this will include making sure the characters are distinguishable, make sense, and are not overly unrealistic in terms of reader expectations. For nonfiction works, this could simply mean making sure the overall idea is clearly communicated to the reader without loss of focus.

Training & Qualifications


I have provided editing services for around 9 years for peers, and professionally for 2. I have received formal education in editing and English at the collegiate level.

About James Lader

I'm a mathematics major perpetually in limbo trying to finish the last year of my degree. I'm disabled so I don't get out much, but that means I do live quite vicariously through the internet. I have ...lots of hobbies and interests, things I don't even know how to list on simbi. I can do so much except...go out and walk around. So I love to talk online, hear from people, and just generally have fun. While I may get tired easily, I care a lot. Don't expect me to remember your name, but I will remember about your dog and your kids and your hobbies and I'll ask you about them with genuine interest and concern. Sorry in advance for when I fall asleep during a conversation. show more
