Historical non-fiction

By engaging me to copyedit your work of historical non-fiction, you can have the confidence your book is in the hands of someone with an academic and professional grounding in history. Eleven years of my publishing career have been devoted to researching, developing, and editing resources for the study of history at university level. I also hold a First-Class Honours BA in History and an MA with Distinction in Eighteenth Century Studies. I therefore have the requisite knowledge, research skills, and intimate understanding of the needs of historical non-fiction to be your ideal copyeditor.

I will ensure the language of your book is clear, concise, comprehensible, and devoid of contradiction or needless repetition. I will provide your book with a professional finish by ensuring consistency in terminology, spelling, punctuation, italics, hyphenation, numerals, units of measurement, and the formatting of footnotes and endnotes.

I edit both commercial and academic works of historical non-fiction, including biographies. To provide a quote, I will require the word count of your manuscript, a 2,000 word sample, and a brief of requirements.
