My experience with publishers
|
I’ve copy-edited or proofread a large number of non-fiction books (trade, academic, professional and educational) for Eclipse Publishing & Media, Integra, Pitch Publishing, Prestel, RefineCatch, Routledge / Taylor and Francis, Swales & Willis, The Stationery Office and Wearset. You can find a list of titles here.
I can copy-edit in Word with Track Changes, or on paper. I can mark up proofs (blind or against copy) on a PDF file or on paper. When proofreading a PDF file, I can use the Comment functions in Adobe Acrobat, or use stamps for the BSI symbols. |
‘Graham has copy-edited several books for us and his work has consistently been of a very high standard. His application of house style and attention to detail is nothing short of excellent and I am happy to recommend him.’

My training
As a key part of my initial training, I completed the Basic Proofreading and Copy-editing courses run by the Publishing Training Centre (PTC), passing both with Merit. As well as helping me to learn my trade, these gave me an insight into how copy-editing and proofreading fit into the publishing process.
I’ve also made use of a number of courses run by the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP, formerly the Society for Editors and Proofreaders), and its mentoring schemes for proofreading and copy-editing.
