Turtle Bay can assist you with all your editorial needs. I offer all levels of editing, proofreading, and copy writing for all printed material, particularly books, proposals, reports, correspondence, and newsletters.
With either hard copy texts or electronic files, I give careful attention to the Chicago Manual of Style, Associated Press, American Psychological Association, and Modern Language Association styles, or specified guidelines, and am particularly experienced copy editing the following genres and book subjects: COOKING, EDUCATION, HEALTH, HISTORY, MUSIC, NATURE / ENVIRONMENT, OUTDOOR RECREATION, PETS, PSYCHOLOGY, REFERENCE, SOCIOLOGY, SPIRITUALITY, TEXTBOOKS, and TRAVEL.
I would be happy to submit a copy editing test or provide a sample upon request. Contact Turtle Bay for a quote on your editorial needs.

PROOFREADING: This includes checking spelling, punctuation and formatting. Proofreading can also involve reading typeset galleys for typographical errors and inconsistencies against a copy of the final manuscript.
COPYEDITING: Copyediting involves reading a manuscript to correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and syntax, improve style, and clarify inconsistencies or rearrange for clarity.
CONTENT EDITING: Also referred to as developmental editing, this involves working with authors to develop manuscripts for submission and publication, focusing on the content of the work, character flaws, or plot inconsistencies.
RESEARCH: Compiling public and private information in a presentable format.
REWRITING: Reading a manuscript or collection, and remodeling the text from the original material to a format suitable for publication, such as a book or an article.
INDEXING: This involves alphabetically organizing key words and concepts for display in the back matter of a book or report.
DOCUMENT CHECKING: Proofreading, copy editing, and sometimes rewriting all types of written communications, including correspondence, documents, manuscripts, and web sites.
