I'm Louise Lubke Cuss, an editor and proofreader of non-fiction books (including memoir) and business content. How can I help you?

Is this you?

You're in business and you write a lot of reports and other documents but you don't feel confident about your grammar and spelling. Maybe you're dyslexic or English is not your first language? Find out how I can help here.

 

You're a non-fiction author needing some help to get your book through the final stages before publishing.  Find out more here about how I can help you ensure your book is the best it can be.

 

You've written a memoir about a particular time or event in your life. You've worked long and hard on it and just need the reassurance of an editing professional to give it that final polish. Find out more here about how we can work together.

 

What exactly is editing and proofreading?

Editing includes the following: 

  • correcting spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes
  • making sure it flows, makes sense and follows a logical order (if logic is required!)
  • making sure there is nothing missing
  • checking to see if you're repeating yourself (a little can be a good thing sometimes, but it can be boring) and suggesting where cuts and changes could be made
  • checking that you follow a consistent style throughout

Proofreading is lighter touch than editing; in books it is the final checks (mainly spelling, grammar and punctuation) before a book is published to make sure nothing was missed during the editing stage. In reality, working with self-publishers is often a combination of the two – proofediting!
