Editing & Proofreading
Copy-editing: for when your manuscript is almost there, but you need that extra touch. I'll check for consistency, spelling/grammar and prepare the document for typesetting.
Proofreading: for just before publication when your book needs that final once over - checking for spelling, typos and sneaky formatting issues.
I have qualifications from the CIEP for both copyediting and proofreading so you're in safe hands.
"It was great to have Lydia's eagle editorial eye overseeing the project. Not only to ensure that the grammar was sound but also to improve the flow of the text and to sense check what I'd written. As a result I have greater confidence in my book... Highly recommended."
Andy Robb, Author and Illustrator

"I used Lydia's services... to develop and maintain a social media presence on TikTok and Instagram. Within a few weeks she helped me to think clearly about my identity and establish my presence effectively. I couldn't have done it without her."
Steve Maltz, author of The Chandelier Maker



About Me
I'm Lydia, an author (and book-lover), and an experienced professional with over seven years marketing experience.
Alongside my freelance work, I work as a marketing manager and editor for Malcolm Down Publishing, a small UK-based publishing house. I also write my own dystopian stories, so this means books quite literally are my life.
I love working with other publishers and authors to reach their readers in a way that is authentic, professional and, well, fun!
If you're interested in working with me, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
