“Better to be corrected privately by your editor than publicly in a review.” Lillian Nader, copyeditor
What Is Copyediting and Who Needs It?
Have you finished writing the first draft of a book, short story, or blog article?
Are you writing a thesis?
Do you need assistance with the text of your website?
You may have written excellent content, but as the writer, you need a second pair of eyes to do the proofreading and editing. Authors usually miss errors because they know what they intend to say and their brains fill in the details.
Here’s what I can do as your Copyeditor:
Fix punctuation errors
Help with correct word choice or misuse
Point out inconsistent tense of verbs
Find dropped words in your typing
Check sentence structure
Work with clarity, consistency, and repetition
Check for active voice

“I’d like to thank the Publisher’s and Writer’s group of Orange County (PWOC), who encouraged me through the process of getting this book into print and provided numerous resources and connections. I met my knowledgeable and capable editor, Lillian Nader, at PWOC and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect match for my personality. Lillian honed, corrected, and drew out of me, the vision I had of Mazy and Snub so that my readers could really imagine their world.”

“I would like to take this time to thank Lillian Nader for the excellent job that she did in helping me complete my dissertation. Her editing skills were so “right on” and my paper came back without any red marks whatsoever and it passed on my first submission. Lillian was extremely helpful and wonderful to work with. She answered all my questions and her editing did not make me feel inadequate where my grammar and punctuation, or the lack thereof was concerned. It was a complete and joyful pleasure to work with her and I intend on working with her in the future on many more projects. In my opinion Lillian ranks at the top of the list for editors. Thank you Lillian for making my paper a complete success!”

BOOK BLURB TESTIMONIAL:
“After months or years working on a book, I notice that when it’s time to write the back of book blurb I’m too close to the story to find the words. That’s where Lillian Nader’s skill comes in handy. She’s uses the synopsis to put together a short, intriguing blurb. Lillian gives enough information to pique interest without revealing too much. I’m so appreciative of her work and plan to continue utilizing Lillian’s writing services.”
