Introduction
I offer quality proofreading, copy or line editing, and formatting for a wide variety of manuscripts in preparation for final publication. I have a keen eye for and particularly enjoy finding all types of errors, such as syntax, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and typos, as well as consistency of voice. I work quickly while maintaining accuracy and work closely with my clients to polish their final draft and make it shine. I am happy to sign any NDA documents as needed. I enjoy reading scripts and manuscripts in many diverse genres. Working with different authors, I take great pride in my ability to maintain the writer's unique voice while delivering an error-free, highly improved final draft ready for publication.

Working with Celia on my manuscript was remarkably gratifying. She was exceptionally modest and professional. Her work was of the most elevated quality, meticulous, and competent. When it comes to editing, she’s a class act!"

Celia is a gem! I contacted her about my project just before completing it, and she was patient as I finished the manuscript. Her payment terms are very clear, she is flexible, and very reasonable in comparison to other writing services. We spoke about the project several times over the phone (another excellent quality) and via email. Whenever I contacted Celia, she was very responsive, and I appreciated that, given that this was my first book. I received a couple of redlines, and while they were great recommendations and changes, she kept my “voice” so that it was still my work. If you are considering hiring someone for proofreading and editing services, look no further!

My 86 year old father spent seven years writing a memoir. He wanted to publish it for distribution to his many family and friends. As his daughter, I was given the task of editing. I thought it prudent to have it professionally proofread. Fortunately, I was able to find Celia Pool through Thumbtack. She was a lifesaver! Before reaching out to Celia, I had gone through the document with various computer grammar and spell checkers. To my surprise, Celia found many additional errors. Her editing was remarkably thorough and insightful. In addition to correcting grammar and spelling, she picked up on content issues we had overlooked. Her questions and suggestions were astute and helpful. Celia was easy to work with, and incredibly patient. The charge for her services was very reasonable. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Celia Pool. I highly recommend her!
