There are five main reasons why I am the editor for you:
1. The document you have written and need editing is a work of non-fiction. I only edit non-fiction, including academic papers, business reports and creative non-fiction. If you are looking for a fiction editor, one of my colleagues would be a better fit for you. 2. The subject area is in business, accounting, education or the law (or the Brontës). If your subject is in one of these areas, then your writing is in my area of expertise. For other subject areas, please contact me and we can see if it is something I can help you with, or if another editor would be more suitable. 3. You want the document to be copyedited or proofread. If your document needs structural or developmental editing or if you want a manuscript critique, then another editor would be the way to go. If you need copyediting or proofreading, then I am the one for you. If you are not sure which service you need, please see my Editing Services. 4. You are willing to pay for a professional edit. If you are looking for a ‘cheap’ option, then I am not for you. I assess each project individually and give you a detailed quote based on the time I estimate the work to take. I am a business owner, I do not ‘do a bit of editing on the side’ and my prices reflect my professional training and qualifications, my continuing professional development and my specialist experience. 5. You realise perfection is an illusion. I am a realist, not a perfectionist – I do not promise perfection, no one can, we are all human. As a professional editor, I will always do the best job I can, but that does not mean I can deliver perfection. We also have to be realistic as to what can be delivered if there are any time or budget constraints.
