Cheryl Lemmens - Indexing and Editorial Services

Editing: Books Edited and Proofread

My book editing work encompasses both manuscript editing and proofreading. I provide each client with a detailed list of notes and queries, from issues of grammar to names, dates, and other fact-checking items. (I have also done fact-checking as separate, stand-alone work.) Among the reference works on which I rely are the Chicago Manual of Style and the MLA Handbook, the Canadian Oxford Dictionary and Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, and an assortment of other guides, reference books, and foreign-language dictionaries. In addition, I use the Internet extensively in both linguistic and fact-checking queries, and have found many an invaluable Web site en route.

Books are listed chronologically in each section, with the most recently edited first.
