Professional Freelance Proofreading and Editing Services
I’m Louise Holtby, a UK-based freelance proofreader and copyeditor, helping clients across the globe to improve their drafted works.
I specialize in fiction editing and invite you to take up my offer of a free edit of 1,000 words of your manuscript, which enables me to provide you with an accurate price quotation and an idea of how I edit. Please see my rates and services pages for more information. You can upload your sample text here.
I love the variety and interest that editing brings to my working life, and I think (hope!) this shows in my editing. I love the anticipation and excitement of each new project, wondering what's in store for me.
If you choose me as your editor, my credentials include distinctions and merits in proofreading and copyediting training, which I accomplished through the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), an organisation which is committed to upholding and promoting high editorial standards. Be assured that as a CIEP member, I abide by the CIEP code of Practice. I'm well-educated, having attained A levels in English, French and Spanish (you'd be surprised how frequently having a grasp of other languages comes in useful, even in a predominantly English text), before going on to earn a first-class BA Honours degree in Business and Management.
My background in local government administration and project management saw me write strategic content and edit and format content across the organisation before taking up the career of full-time freelance editor, so I'm well-versed in the language of business, too.
