I am an editor offering all stages of the editing process, query edits, and manuscript critiques. Writing is my passion, and I’ve attended several writing/editing summits to enhance my skills. I specialize in fiction (fantasy in particular) but am open to most genres. I am an undergrad at UMGC earning my BA in English, but I have an editing certificate from ACES/Poynter to prepare me for my career as an editor. Please contact me by email or visit my website for more information.

I’ve been a freelance copyeditor and proofreader since 1997. I specialize in the humanities, the social sciences, literacy, and education. Much of my educational work has been in the English language arts, including ELL, ESL, ESOL, and similar areas. I also have experience with legal, health and medical, and business publications. My clients include educational publishers, trade publishers, university presses, academic journals, nonprofit organizations, research and consulting groups, and individual authors and researchers.

Jessica Hinds-Bond, PhD, specializes in scholarly monographs in the humanities, Russian literature in translation, and works of drama. She also has experience editing dissertations and articles in the humanities and social sciences (particularly theatre, art history, music, literature, religious studies, Slavic studies, and history). Her work ranges from developmental editing to copyediting and proofreading as well as indexing. She works primarily for university presses and clients in academia.

I copyedit trade books for publishers including Penguin Random House and independent authors. I serve your writing and your readers with my acute ear for language, eye for detail, and compassionate attention.

I’m Kate Strassel, a Massachusetts-based copy editor and proofreader specializing in creative nonfiction. I’ve been writing since my midteens (way back in the 80s); my content has been published in Charles River Review, edible South Shore & South Coast, Rhode Island Creative Magazine, and on consumer sites such as Citizens Bank. I received my bachelor’s degree in liberal arts with minors in creative writing and business communication from Harvard University’s School of Extension Studies in 2016.

On my website, there’s a photo of me at age 4. I’m dressed in yellow footie pajamas, have Farrah Fawcett bangs, and am seated in front of a baby blue 1970s–era Smith Corona typewriter. Looking back, it’s obvious from that photo that I was destined for a career as a writer and editor.
