Engage your readers with your ideas – not with your typos
Having worked at an international non-fiction publisher – John Wiley and Sons – for a number of years both as a marketer and as an editor, I have a deep understanding of how to craft best-selling books.
Through my years of experience working on the For Dummies brand of books, I have developed a unique understanding of creating book-length content from the table-of-content onward to the final product, while maintaining a unique voice and brand style.
In addition, I have expert knowledge in creating materials in various formats aside from books, including online articles, videos, CDs, and cheat sheets.

"Anam copy edited my manuscript with great care. The overall quality of the work increased with her edits – without altering my voice or tone. Her turnaround times were excellent, which also motivated me to keep going. I felt that she genuinely cared about my book and the project, which was very meaningful to me."

Freelance book editing services for your manuscript
I partner with publishers and independent authors to create, edit, and polish books destined for greatness.
Proposal Development: I work with authors on creating a winning book proposal to present to a publisher. I focus on the writing sample, as well as any sales and marketing information. I also advise on any next steps.
Manuscript Development: I work with authors to write the manuscript. I flush out the outline or table of contents, creating a detailed roadmap for the work. I work side-by-side to write the text, and any accompanying materials including online articles, CDs, videos, and infographics.
Ghostwriting: I have experience working with subject matter experts – often on very technical, hard-to-understand topics – and developing content from scratch based on their knowledge. I am able to distill complex ideas into consumer-friendly content that is both marketable and highly recognized in the designated field.
Content Development: I work with the author or subject matter expert to write the book. I usually start by flushing out the table of contents, creating a detailed roadmap for the book down to the sub-section level within each chapter. I then work side-by-side to write the text. This role is customized based on the author’s strengths and weaknesses. I have experience creating print and online books, plus accompanying online articles, CDs, videos, and infographics.
Substantive Editing: I perform the big-picture edit, focusing on the content, structure, and flow of information. I ensure that the author’s ideas are organized in a manner that helps the reader follow the material, and keep turning the pages to see what comes next. If needed, I will also concentrate on style and language, highlighting wordiness, excessive use of passive voice, jargon, and ambiguous phrases.
Copy Editing: I focus on spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and ensure the work is complete, consistent, and accurate. I flag any facts that need to be checked, as well as ensure all visual elements are properly and consistently presented.
Fact Checking: I conduct independent research to ensure all information in the work is accurate and complete.
