Yvonne D
 
Copy-editor, copywriter, typesetter, and published writer

Exeter, United Kingdom
Copy-editing an academic book on psychoanalysis written by an author whose first language is not English.

About Me

I am a highly experienced copy-editor of academic books and journals, a published writer of factual articles, often with a touch of humour, and a copywriter, including SEO copy (see portfolio), website copy, and press releases.

My background is in training (computer and administrative skills, and English language), and I have designed and written a number of courses in these fields.

I am also a professionally trained typesetter, using professional software (QuarkXpress) to produce press quality layouts.

I pride myself on my professionalism (work is always of the highest possible standard, and delivered on time), my creativity and flexibility -- and my unfailing sense of humour helps a lot, too! You can trust me to deliver what you want, when you want it.

Areas covered: Anywhere (working from home)

Job Reviews on PPH

by Arden W on 21 May 2012

Hi Yvonne, Many thanks for chapters 10 thru 14. It have partly read it whilst in transit today. Looks great. I will revert with comments / any amendments etc once I have a chance to sit down for an hour or so. Kind regards Arden.

Yvonne did a great job. She is obviously a skilled and switched on editor who has lots of experience.

by IMRAN S on 22 Aug 2011

Yvonne provided focus, dedication and proffesionalism to the task at hand. Her communication with me to ensure that she deleived exactly what I sought was excellent. Editing a novel can vary, however Yvonne has done an excellent job of correcting grrammatical mistakes and offering alternate words to improve fluidity. Her method of delivery with the document showing the changes made is a great learning curve for myself. Will I use Yvonne again? Absolutely. Would I recommend her - Yes! Hopefully she will fit me in with any other tasks. Please note, I audited 20 other editors before choosing Yvonne, and it was money well spent. Hope to build a lasting relationship as I continue to write.

Work Experience

Jan 2001 to Present
Copy-editor and typesetter at The Studio Publishing Services

Although I am a freelance, I have worked on a continuous basis for this company for the past eleven years. In a sense, they act as my agents, sitting between me and the clients. Most of my work consists of copy-editing academic books on psychology, psychotherapy and associated fields, and typesetting them ready for publication. I produce an average of around 30-40 books per year.
