Welcome to Sherry Schafer Editing & Proofing!

I'm an established freelance editor and proofreader with over seven years of experience. I pride myself on providing personalized attention to each client, ensuring your individual needs are met.


My track record is proven to have your work delivered on time!

The first draft is black and white, editing gives the story color.

About me

Satisfaction Guaranteed

When it comes to my services, you can count on me to take care of your every need. I pride myself on personal service. Let me know how I can assist you today!

Quality Assured

I work hard to offer smart, flexible, and affordable services that benefit all my customers. When editing, I make my own style sheet unless the client provides one.

Certified Services

I use CMOS as my style guide unless stated otherwise, and work in either Google Docs or Microsoft Word. I always use track changes and comment to the side. If I have urgent questions, I contact the client immediately.  

Services

Proofreading

This is one of my most popular services. With this service, I correct spelling, punctuation, syntax, and grammar. I ensure all details are simple, seamless and handled in a timely manner. ​

Copy/Line Editing

Copy editing is a more intensive service. I may add or subtract words, rearrange sentences for a better flow, or even vary wording for clarity while ensuring characters and descriptions are consistent throughout. I double-check references (if needed) and verify that the storyline is uniform. With line editing, I go through each line, checking for details lacking in depth and clarity, inconsistencies in details, and fixing awkward or unclear sentences or paragraphs.

Bundle

To help keep costs down for my clients, I'm happy to offer the option of a copy editing/proofreading bundle at a reduced price.
