Sharron M.

I'm an experienced copy editor, line editor, and proofreader. I'm a native English speaker, and have edited over two hundred books, both fiction and nonfiction. I'm a proofreader for the Hot Tree Editing Agency, where I work on romances, cozy mysteries, fantasy, and middle-grade books, and a copy editor for Troubador Publishing UK where I edit mysteries, thrillers, sci-fi, and history books. I have also worked as a developmental editor for the Inkitt self-publishing platform, revising romances for publication in the Galatea subscription app. I have also worked on shorter projects such as dissertation chapters, academic essays, CVs and cover letters. I edit nonfiction books for the Urban Writers platform covering a wide range of subjects, including coping with ADHD, personal finances, Python programming, wildlife photography, travel guides, and sports psychology. I have a BA in Creative Writing, and a Certificate in Editing. I'm familiar with US, UK, and Australian/NZ English dialects, APA and MLA referencing, and the Chicago Manual of Style. I'm available to edit short stories, romances, fantasy, mysteries—cozy or otherwise—self-help manuals, business books, and academic essays. Whatever you write, I'm ready to work with you to make your writing shine!
