Editor, Writer, and Author-Ally - let's get your book reader-ready!

Does it matter if your copy-editor has expertise in the same subject matter as your book? It can. A copy-editor who is also a subject matter expert (SME) already has depth of knowledge in the topic included in your book. This means that they are more likely to catch any errors that a non-SME might miss (because they otherwise seem probable), and they can help refine those aspects of your text to make it the best it can be. Bonus: the editing process will likely be faster because there will be less research required. Whether it is the entire manuscript or just a portion of it, a copy-editor with subject matter expertise can help make your story ring true for your readers. If your writing project involves horses, art, or art history (fiction or non-fiction), then I'm your copy-editor SME! I also edit cozy mystery and romance genres. Drop me a line and let's chat.
