  Little Foxes Editing

  Hi. Im Lauren. Ive been a freelance editor since 1996, working primarily with Christian non-fiction authors. I heard a sermon once about the little foxes that spoil the vines and it seemed such a perfect analogy for what I do as an editor. Authors have the visiona messagethat they feel needs to be relayed. Oftentimes, however, all the little mistakes in their deliveryoverlooked grammar issues, sluggish flow, disorganized content, pesky typographical errors, and moreend up spoiling the beauty and usefulness of a would-be vital vine. Let me help you catch all the little foxes that mar your final presentation and spoil what God placed in your heart to proclaim. Lets work together to produce a product that is worthy of its calling. You have the message, let me help you clip, prune and water it until its absolutely flourishing.My services include proofreading, copy editing, developmental editing, mentoring/coaching, writing and book reviews. In 1996 I graduated from the University of North Florida with a bachelors degree in literature and a minor in journalism. I am proficient with AP Style as well as the Chicago Manual of Style 18th edition and the Christian Writers Manual of Style. I have worked extensively with self-publishing new authors as well as traditional publishing houses and would love the opportunity to connect with you to discuss your projects needs.
