‘I was working on the proof of one of my
poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon
I put it back again.’ Oscar Wilde
Successful copy-editing requires meticulous attention to detail,
an instinctive feel for language, sensitivity to authors’
styles and an understanding of the market-place.
I am a qualified copy-editor (accredited by the Publishing Training
Centre at Book House) with a background in book publishing. My
services include: copy-editing, proofreading, rewriting and ghostwriting
for books, journals, brochures, pamphlets and reports.
‘Max is a thorough and professional
copy-editor, who has no problem with meeting deadlines and is
always sensitive to different authors’ styles.’
