Editing for publishers


​My experience with publishers as a copy-editor and proofreader

I’ve copy-edited or proofread a large number of non-fiction books (trade, specialist and academic) for a number of publishers and packagers: Eclipse Publishing & Media, EMC Design, Integra, Pitch Publishing, Prestel, ​RefineCatch, Routledge / Taylor and Francis, Swales & Willis, The Stationery Office​ and Wearset.

To see a list of titles that I
’ve worked on, please visit the About page and download my portfolio.

I can:
  • copy-edit in Word using Track Changes and commenting
  • mark up proofs on a PDF file, using either Adobe Acrobat’s Comment functions or stamps for the BSI mark-up symbols.​
A pile of books.
​‘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.’
Dean Rockett, Pitch Publishing

Training

My extensive editorial training includes:
  • the Basic Proofreading and Copy-editing courses (as they were at the time) run by the Publishing Training Centre (PTC)
  • many courses run by the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP; now I’m one of the tutors)
  • the CIEP’s mentoring schemes for proofreading and copy-editing.
As well as helping me to learn my trade, these courses have given me a good insight into how developmental editors, copy-editors and proofreaders fit into the publishing process. For a full list, please download my brochure from the About page.
