Jessica Schmidt

Editor and Writer in Eugene, Oregon

I love proofreading and copy editing and enjoy working with authors. Contact me to discuss how I can help with your project! I have been offering professional proofreading and editing services since 2014 and work with clients around the world. I enjoy delivering excellent quality work and customer service while working with new and returning clients.

How I Can Help You

My goal is to help polish your book to highlight your content and message—so your readers are impressed by what you have to say instead of being distracted by mistakes and common errors such as grammar, usage or typos. I use the proofreading and copy editing features in Microsoft Word. These "redlining features" help me advise you about spelling, grammar and word usage errors as well as to make comments and suggestions for edits to help clarify your message to better serve your readers.

As a lifelong reader and avid Kindle user, I read constantly and am often distracted by common spelling and word usage errors that could have been corrected by a careful professional proofreader like me! I look forward to hearing about your project and how I can help. Contact me today! I look forward to working with you!

My Areas of Expertise Include:

• I specialize in proofreading and copy editing books that are set in the US but written by authors from the UK, Australia and New Zealand. I make sure the language, phrasing, idioms, humor, etc. conform to US readers' expectations.

• ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS: I have proofread and copy edited the English translation of three classic books originally written in Polish. I just proofread and copy edited the English translation of a self-help book written in German.

• I enjoy working with authors who are not native US English speakers.
