Kristi’s Book Cellar Copyediting & Proofreading Services

Hi, I’m Kristi. I have more than a decade of experience working in the publishing industry, but my editing journey began over 20 years ago in the corporate world. I am a book dragon and a romance junkie, and I’ve had the honor of working with independent and hybrid romance authors as a blogger, publicist, and editor.

Whether you write sweet, extra-spicy, contemporary, dark, paranormal, or another genre, I’d love to chat with you about your work in progress and how we can work together on your journey to publication.

It’s important to choose an editor you can trust. I’m happy to offer new clients a free sample edit.

Copyediting

Your manuscript undergoes several levels of editing on its way to publication. Copy edits are a vital step in your revision process. Copy edits polish the rough edges and improve the readability of your manuscript. As your copy editor, I check for grammatical errors, inconsistencies, continuity errors, factual errors, clarity, and missing and overused words. I also include comments and feedback.

Please note: A proofreader is recommended after your manuscript is copyedited. 

Proofreading

After all your rounds of edits and rewrites, you need a final, fresh set of eyes to read through your manuscript before publication. As your proofreader, I meticulously review your manuscript for any errors that have slipped through the cracks. This includes typos, spelling errors, grammar issues, proper punctuation, and formatting inconsistencies. 

Please note: Your manuscript needs to be professionally edited before submitting for proofreading.

All edits are in Microsoft Word with Track Changes and comments. I use the Chicago Manual of Style, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, and other resources as necessary.
