Copy Editing & Proofreading

I love copy editing and proofreading as they allow me to get down to the nitty-gritty of a text without ever losing track of the message as a whole.

Once you have written your text, I can help you polish your work as your copy editor, proofreader, or both.

As your copy editor, I carefully check grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage throughout your document. I also make sure that everything in your text is correct, accurate, consistent, and complete.
And as your proofreader, I complete a final check of the document to identify and correct any remaining errors in the text and the visual elements.

My main areas of focus are fiction editing, arts & cultural documents, and craft patterns. But I’m interested in many topics and in editing different types of documents. The wide variety of topics and the possibility to learn new things are what originally attracted me to an editing career.

Want to discuss your project to figure out what type of editing you need? Or are you ready to request a quote?

For my recent knit print book collaboration, Contexture, I needed a sharp eyed editor who was also a skilled knitter. The project involved two rounds of review, the first to edit my transcribed charts and text knitting patterns. The patterns were coming from a variety of sources, so it was critical that symbols, style and language were carefully reviewed and consolidated. The second round came after letterpress printmaker Tina Arsenault typeset and proofed the charts and pattern text for accuracy.

Evi diligently reviewed all the charts and pattern text. It’s been an amazing process, and we are so thrilled to have @kraaieditsknits keeping an eye on us.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Evi for my knitting patterns this year, and it was a wonderful experience. Evi is warm and professional, with great attention to detail in every aspect of the editing process. Her meticulous approach ensured that my patterns are cohesive and easy to follow, absolutely enhancing my work.

Evi was also a delight to work with, always open to suggestions and attentive to my needs as a newbie designer. Her listening skills were exceptional, making the collaboration seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Evi for anyone seeking a tech editor who is detail-oriented and a wonderful partner in the creative process.
