Cecil W.
Editor & Proofreader
Hello! I'm Cecil, a native English-speaking editor from Australia with over 15 years' experience in the publishing industry. I've worked with hundreds of happy clients on and off Upwork, and I'd love to add you to their number. My native dialect is Australian English, but I've had extensive experience working with UK and US English and am particularly versed in the Chicago Manual of Style. I've worked with dozens of satisfied clients both on and off Upwork—check out my reviews! I've worked across the whole spectrum of genres and formats, but my particular passion is for books (fiction and non-fiction), short stories, and essays. If there's something you want to say, I want to help you say it. Please don't hesitate to get in touch about your project—I'd love to hear about what you're working on, and I'm always eager to help.
