About this Gig
Hi! I'm Katie and I'm a publishing professional with extensive experience in the editorial sector. I have the skills and qualifications to ensure that your book is refined and improved to a professional standard, and I would love to be the editor and/or proofreader of your next literary or non-fiction project!
What I offer:
- Line-editing with additional proofreading.
- A marked-up version of your manuscript with comments and corrections highlighting mistakes and/or inconsistencies in: spelling, grammar, punctuation, word choice and syntax (sentence structure).
- This will also include fact-checking (dates, place names, specific terminology or jargon).
- I follow a style guide, either one provided by the author or the Oxford Style Guide (UK)/Chicago Manual of Style (US), to ensure consistency.
- For deep-line (rewriting) edits, as well as developmental feedback (editorial/reader reports), see the extra services on this gig, or my separate developmental editing gig.
Please note: I edit on Word and do not edit manuscripts that have already been formatted/typeset for publication.
Please message before ordering so we can ensure my services are right for you!

Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

Katy was absolutely fabulous to work with. Her understanding of my story and characters even as she was editing the novel was outstanding. Comments and suggestions given by Katy are both supportive and insightful, and her delivered piece has left me inspired to get the edits done and get my novel out...
