Todd Manza
Manza Editorial
Full-time editor since 2001, working with a variety of publishers, writers, and organizations. Manuscript review and development, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading. Excellent technical and organizational skills. Deadline oriented. Friendly assistance to writers and production teams.
FICTION AND NONFICTION BOOK EDITOR
I work with authors on initial developmental editing, line editing, and copy editing before submission to a publisher. On the production side, I copyedit and proofread both electronic and hard copy manuscripts before they go to press.
ACADEMIC EDITOR
I collaborate with individual scholars on a variety of academic projects, from dissertations and journal articles to books. My personal interest is primarily in the humanities–anthropology, history, geography, philosophy, and so forth–but I am equally proficient in math and science editing.
I have a good reputation among my clients, which I believe indicates the quality and integrity I bring to my job. I work hard to ensure that an author is treated with respect for his or her work and voice, that all questions are answered satisfactorily, and that the writer can be proud of having produced a clear, well-written piece.
STYLE GUIDES
Most of my work follows the Chicago, APA, or AP manuals. In a pinch, I can work with AMA or MLA styles, too.
