Type of work
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am the Sole Proprietor of IC Proofing Services and do all of my own editing/proofreading. I love, if possible, to meet the author and get a background of the manuscript and get to know a little bit about the writer himself. If that is not possible, I will contact the author directly via telephone and discuss the project. My editing/proofreading process is simple. I first read through the entire manuscript to find any and all obvious errors and make simple corrections and get a feel for the story line and authors writing style. My second read is more thorough. This process is where I make redline notations, recommendations, corrections, questions of characters, and flow of story line and sentence structure, etc. Almost all of my business is by referrals and repeat clients, which is why I do not have as many reviews as others. I work with both published and self-published authors, as well as first time writers. Also proofing/editing of promotional marketing, websites, and legal documents. I love my clients and their stories! Also, I so enjoy proofreading/editing stories not yet in publication and helping them tell their story.

This was the first book I ever had professionally edited and was happy with the process. I had lots of amateurish questions which she patiently answered. She really made sure I was comfortable with her work. Thanks

Details: Copy editing or line editing • Fiction novel • No preference • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • I travel to the editor • The editor travels to me

Debbie is very professional, thorough, and great at what she does. From the very 1st day we met up to discuss my editing needs, Debbie listened carefully to exactly what I needed, and provided insightful advice and ideas!! She was timely and very knowledgeable of her craft. I enjoyed working with her and will certainly use her for more of my upcoming writing projects!!! That's a done deal*

Debbie was very professional in her approach to handling my book. She also provided a soothing voice which is helpful since this was my first book. She was prompt with her responses and got my material back to me in a timely manner. This is what an editor should be.

I am very pleased with the fine work Debbie Mitchell of IC Proofing Services did on my novel. She is extremely knowledgeable and exhibited true professionalism. I would recommend her to anyone that needs an extra set of eyes. She catches the most subtle of errors. I plan on using her company again when my second book is completed. .
