Editing

‘I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma.  In the afternoon I put it back again.’ Oscar Wilde

Successful copy-editing requires meticulous attention to detail, an instinctive feel for language, sensitivity to authors’ styles and an understanding of the marketplace.

I am a qualified copy-editor (accredited by the Publishing Training Centre at Book House) with a background in book publishing. My services include: copy-editing, proofreading, rewriting and ghostwriting for books, journals, brochures, pamphlets and reports.

‘Max is a thorough and professional copy-editor, who has no problem with meeting deadlines and is always sensitive to different authors’ styles.’
