About My Friend Janet, LLC

⮚ What I Do ⮘ I’m a freelance copyeditor, and I help indie authors get their fiction or non-fiction manuscript polished so it can be ready for publishing. Looking through the reader’s eyes, I check for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and syntax to make sure the message is clear and there is nothing for the reader to trip over. Using the Chicago Manual of Style as a guide, I note the typos, spacing inconsistencies, spelling mistakes, punctuation problems, and capitalization errors; make comments to clarify grammar, style, and terminology; and point out variances of the voice, context, and continuity. I love the collaboration process with an author and the joy in bringing a finished work to publication. I make the process easy, and my goal is to help you to shine. ⮚Types of Projects ⮘ Mystery, thriller, detective, crime fiction, and true crime novels -- I'm obsessed with solving the puzzle and I love working on these types of manuscripts. I have interest and knowledge of art, science, forensics, psychology, and medical terminology. I also have a passion for helping others and love reading health, fitness, psychology, mental health, and self-help books. ⮚ How I Work ⮘ • We schedule a complimentary phone call to chat about your book project. • I offer you a sample edit of suggested corrections and comments. • I email you an agreement outlining the project terms, cost, and timeline. • You pay a deposit to get your project booked on my calendar. • You email me your manuscript. • I get to work polishing your manuscript; emailing you frequent progress updates. • I send back your manuscript with my marked-up suggestions.
