Edditing and poofreeding snot easy so, trust, the excerpts.

At bluebamboo, I provide core editorial services:

• copyediting: removing errors of grammar, syntax and spelling; ensuring consistency of style; fact- and accuracy-checking; and polishing text to provide smooth, flowing copy while maintaining the author’s voice.

• proofreading: blitzing typos and literals; waging war on punctuational faux pas; guaranteeing that you don’t make a pubic [sic] spectacle of yourself online or in print.

In short, I know when to question orthographic tradition (looking at you, e.e. cummings) and when to flout it (have at it, bluebamboo!). I know when to hang indents and not to dangle a modifier. We all know how difficult it is to to proofread your own material (NO, using spellcheck is NOT enough), so let me eliminate any doubts and ensure your copy is error- and typo-free.

While I specialise in fiction, ELT/education and Trade non-fiction publishing, as well as online academic materials, bluebamboo’s editorial services will transform any text – printed or online – into smoothly flowing, engaging, readable and, above all, accurate copy.

I also have many years’ experience of working closely with designers on illustrated print material, and I provide picture research and project management along with editorial services.

(Finally, if you didn’t spot the repeated ‘to’ above, you definitely need my help!)
