PUBLISHER
EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS
I work full time throughout the year proofreading,
collating author corrections and checking revises, and I
am prepared to work weekends on urgent projects. I have
experience in proofreading hardcopy produced from
authors’ disks, DTP and scanners.
(Copy-editing of books
is not available as a service to publishers at the
present.)
I also have experience in liaising with authors in the
UK and abroad over the resolution of queries at proof
stage.
