Member info:
I work both for tradional trade-book publishers and private clients. My work, in both copy editing and proofreading, covers practically every field--biography, social history, all genres of fiction, memoirs, art and architectural history--and much more. My work is appreciated by editors and is considered probing and meticulous. With a long career as a reference librarian, I am a thorough and intuitive fact-checker. I proofread with great attention not only to the changes from manuscript to galley but also to spelling, grammar, and consistency.
I have a working knowledge of Italian, French, and German, which I have, both by request or incidentally, found extremely useful, especially in fiction.
