Write into the Woods
Copy-editing

Copy-editing

I'm not just a writer, I'm also an editor!

Between 2021 and 2024, I was a copy-editor working with authors, including J A Higgins, the award-winning  author of this brilliant supernatural thriller, A Long Time Burning.

While copy-editing, I checked grammar, punctuation, syntax, rhythm and did some fact checking.

I will never red pen you! I believe editors should work with their writers. This is a collaboration of skills.

“I am so happy I chose Write Into The Woods to copyedit A LONG TIME BURNING. ! Like many authors, I find it very difficult to hand over my manuscript to the professionals. Write into the Woods took the time to get to know me, to discover the inspiration behind the book, and to understand my writing style. I was offered a trial edit which I found really helpful and by the time I handed the whole book over I knew it was in safe, capable, and more importantly, friendly hands. The subject matter of my mystery thriller, and my voice, were respected and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Receiving your edited work back can sometimes feel like a teacher has attacked it with a red pen, but with Write Into The Woods, it felt like we were working side by side to polish and shape my story until it sparkled, and was ready for publishing. Thank you; we will certainly be working together again.”
