Flawless Book Editing for Authors
Publishing a book that doesn’t sell, or worse – gets bad reviews – isn’t fun. It’s all right for your friends to flatter you and tell you everything looks great. But you need a book editor who isn’t afraid to use a lot of red ink. Sometimes, to fix a manuscript, you need to «cut off an arm or a leg».
I will help you publish the best version of your story!

ABOUT ME
Eleanor Francis
Book Editing
I’m a professional proofreader, editor, and writer who loves to work with the English language and help others to perfect their manuscript. I have worked extensively with book publishers, providing copy-editing and proofreading services on a wide variety of books, from small monographs to large multi-volume works. I began working with book publishers in 2009, and have never looked back. I am an author myself, which helps me to relate to the authors I work with. And, as a proud grammar nerd, I bring an eye for the nuts and bolts of the trade.

Several reviews of my work
Eleanor was incredibly thorough, encouraging, and communicative. I’m so grateful for her feedback and guidance in this process of creation!
Cathy P.
Eleanor gave my short story one last edit. Her insights and advice were very helpful. She was also super supportive and inspirational. A real pro!
Vee K.
Eleanor was very easy to work with. She was a good communicator, kept to the schedule she provided, and responded promptly. Her input was valuable, and she was always very positive.
Roy B.
Wow! I really loved working with Eleanor. She was so encouraging and relatable. She is a relevant author herself, which reflected in the way she not only proofread, but changed a few words around to make my sentences really pop.
