The kind of editor I am: I am an editor. I know exactly what I can, and cannot do. I am an experienced copy-editor, and I am also a professionally trained proofreader. I rely on my experience and my vocabulary to read your manuscript, correct any obvious flaws, and then hone it to the best of my ability. In the honing process, I offer suggestions to remove over-used words, and give you options to clarify your voice, by rearranging passages, fixing tenses, and taking away any jumbled or hard to understand areas, sort of a bastardized version of line editing, to present you, at the end, with a cohesive document.
I am not, nor have I ever said I was a content or developmental editor.
I am also not a genie. I cannot guarantee anything past what I say I can do. I also keep all correspondence between my authors and myself, so later, if someone says I promised developmental or content editing, I know I did not. I am a reader. And because I am, I know, for the most part, what readers like. Check out my Facebook page at Editing by Carol Tietsworth.
