Tanya R.
Professional Editor and Proofreader
If you are looking for a seasoned editor with a sharp eye, a love for language, and an undying adherence to the rules of English grammar, both US and UK, look no further. I have twenty years of experience in professional editing and proofreading, assisting writers through all stages of the publication process. My past and present clients include authors (fiction, non-fiction, memoir, poetry, and experimental), publishers, marketing firms, entrepreneurs, content creation companies, academic, financial, and health publications, and news outlets. Though I can help you perfect any type of text, my specialty is manuscript editing. I have a passion for elevating books to the next level in terms of story, structure, character development, dialogue, readability, and grammar. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Classics and have spent many years meticulously adhering to style guide specifications (Chicago Manual of Style, AP, APA, and MLA, among others). I look forward to working with you.
