Introduction
Not all editors are the same. I DO NOT USE CHAP GPT ! Editing is a skill that requires finely tuned skills that AI is unable to achieve. What makes a great editor is someone who listens carefully to what you need. Listening skills combined with expertise in editing is a winning combination. I am that editor. I listen and deliver. Who better to edit your manuscript than a very experienced editor? I have been working as an editor for more than 30 years. My skills are unmatched given the broad range of areas I work in, from screenplays to dissertations, from memoirs to self-help books, from nonfiction to fiction. Each genre requires a different skill set and I have developed these skills over my very successful career. However, I am not qualified to edit poetry, which requires a different skill set. And if you are looking for help writing university applications it’s best you look elsewhere. I know my limitations and I will be upfront should you ask for something that I am unable to do. I use Word and Google Docs for straightforward editing and I use Final Draft for screenplays. I do not do formatting as that requires a different skill set. I received professional training when I started my career in copy editing 30 years ago. I have continued to work as a copy editor and proofreader, and writer when the documents needs some refinement. I'll make suggestions that you can accept or reject. You have the final say. If there is a better way to say something, I will say it. If the organization of the document needs some help, I will tweak it. If your document needs to follow APA or MLA or Turabian, I will follow the guidelines. Leave it to me! Please read my reviews. My clients can vouch for my professionalism and timeliness. If you'd like to chat with any of them, I can put you in touch. My fees are fair and I will work within your budget. I am open to negotiate the fee depending on the size of the project, how complicated the project is and your turnaround time. My minimum charge is $150. I am ready to move forward. I have never missed a deadline and will keep you informed of my progress. I am located on the West Coast and will respond to all communication in a timely manner. I start at 8 am Pacific Coast time. I enjoy my work and always look forward to taking on new projects.

I was happy with my work, but knew I needed a good editor to see the things that I could see not in my writing. Lynne provided a keen eye and a wealth of experience. She was exactly what I was looking for.

I can’t say enough about my wonderful experience working with Lynne. I consider myself lucky that our professional paths have crossed. She responded promptly to my inquiry , took the time to understand my project needs, and worked to guide me through a process. Technically, her mastery of editing skills is clear. Overall, Lynne has taken great care with my book, and I look forward to working with her again.
