Typing up your handwritten manuscript - to get it into electronic format.
Word processing so that it is formatted correctly and consistently. You , the author, are the creative genius. Just get it down on paper, and I'll sort it out, electronically, so that it is formatted correctly, ready for the publisher.
Proofreading your typed manuscript so that it is clean of spelling mistakes and grammatically correct. Some people call me 'anal' in this regard! This is what you need, I can see a spelling mistake a mile away. I cross reference everything.
Copy Editing
I work with the mechanics of your manuscript: consistency; punctuation; diagram, pictures and label placement; table of contents; references; hyperlinks. Also, as a strategist at heart and with the eagle eye's vision, I can often see the bigger picture of what you're trying to achieve to reach your target audience. Being a fresh set of eyes I can see the 'wood for the trees' which you may have been too bogged down in to see. No holds barred - I tell it like it is. This is where I'll recommend that any difficult passages need to be resolved - by the author. I respect individual ability, stylistic preferences and professional identity.
