Alice Rees.
Hello there, I'm Alice Rees
I'm an experienced copy-editor and proofreader with a six-year history in the publishing industry.
Drawing on my past experience as a Commissioning Editor, I work with authors to elevate their manuscripts in preparation for their submission to agents and publishers.
Proofreading
I will check your work for errors.
This includes:
- Correcting grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes
- Following your preferred 'house style' to ensure that capital letters, spellings, numbers and hyphens are used in a consistent way
- Making sure that font sizes, spacing and formatting are consistent
Copy-editing
As well as everything included in a proofread, I will edit your work for textual inconsistencies and contradictions.
This applies to:
- Consistency of character portrayal
- Coherence of point of view
- Correcting unintended repetition of words, phrases or particular syntax
- Suitability of sentence length
- Correcting anachronisms
- Highlighting info-dumping
- Flagging plot-holes
