About
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.

Lynne did an outstanding job with the editing project. Her attention to detail, clarity, and precision elevated the final product far beyond expectations. She not only corrected grammar and formatting errors but also improved the overall flow and readability without altering the intended tone or message. Her professionalism, quick turnaround, and thoughtful feedback made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Lynne for any editing work. She is thorough, reliable, and exceptionally talented.

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.
