Editorial means different things to different people.

So here are a few of the things I do on a daily basis.

Project management

  • Liaising with writers, artists and other stakeholders
  • Establishing and managing workflows
  • Addressing and resolving problems
  • Guiding work to completion
  • Meeting deadlines

Editing

  • Helping writers to structure their work
  • Checking correct word usage, grammar, spelling and punctuation
  • Reading for tone and style
  • Ensuring clarity and flow
  • When working on translated texts, performing localisation, e.g. converting idioms and other terms to their closest English-language equivalent

Writing

  • Creating new copy, including:
    • Back cover text
    • Author biographies
    • Website copy
    • Social media posts
  • Revising existing copy
  • Adapting work from one medium to another

Proofreading

  • Checking for errors in:
    • Spelling
    • Grammar
    • Punctuation
    • Formatting
    • Pagination
  • Ensuring standardisation and consistency across the project
  • Approving work for publication

Every job I take on will require some combination of these different editorial skills. I am happy to discuss your requirements to work out what approach will suit your specific needs.
