Et Al. Editing

Amber Crafton | Freelance Copy Editor

Welcome

et al., phr. abbrev. of Latin et alia (neuter) = "and others"

From people to bounce ideas off of to moral supporters and coffee-getters; editors, designers, and marketing gurus; beta readers and cheerleaders . . .

. . . it really does take an army to get a manuscript published, and I look forward to joining you and all your "others" to ensure your dream is realized in all its glory!

About

Ten years of varied experience in substantive editing and copyediting, a B.A. in English, a certificate in copyediting, and an understanding of storytelling and audience engagement make me an invaluable addition to your team.

Services

Because every manuscript is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all editing experience. My goal is to make your manuscript shine and protect its unique voice. I offer customized services for a variety of formats, disciplines, and genres.
