+ Manuscript proofreading and

copyediting for authors 

 

Hi there. I'm Victoria McPherson, a freelance proofreader and copyeditor who specialises in manuscripts. If you're an author looking to self-publish an error-free manuscript or polish your writing before you approach an agent or publisher, I can help. I work with authors both directly and through publishing houses. You'll get a fast turnaround and a thorough check of your manuscript. My clients find me easy to work with, and most of my work comes from repeat business. 

 

My experience includes: epic fantasy, gothic fantasy, historical fiction, YA fiction, crime thriller, romance, speculative fiction, fantasy, short stories, and poetry. And then there's the non-fiction! Memoir, crisis memoir, music, art, cooking, finance, and education. Check out my latest work and some testimonials from happy clients here.​

​

I am well-versed in CMOS, Australian Government Style Manual, and APA. My services can range from a pure final proofread through to a deeper line edit that also includes creating style sheets, timelines, chapter synopses, and character bios.

​

I am fluent in NZ, Australian, UK, US and Canadian English.
