Copy Editor (Light: Punctuation Focus)
I’m looking for a copy editor to work on a poetrymanuscript. The main focus is punctuation: commas, periods, semicolons, and related mechanics. The goal is to make punctuation consistent and natural throughout the book without altering the author’s voice or style.
It's a 50,000-word manuscript.
Scope:
- Ensure punctuation consistency across the entire manuscript.
- Apply standard grammar and style rules where needed, but with a light hand.
- Preserve the author’s rhythm, flow, and creative expression.
Requirements:
- Strong background in copyediting poetry.
- Experience with light/medium copyediting (not heavy developmental edits).
If you are interested in doing this, please reach out with your prior work and your availability over the next 7 days.
Look forward to hearing from you all!
