THE COMPANY

I run Liz Jones Editorial Solutions from my home in Wells, Somerset. I am happy to travel for meetings with clients and may be able to work in-house by prior arrangement. I work on a Mac, in Word, Acrobat and InDesign CS5.5.

EXPERIENCE

I worked as an in-house project manager and editor for four different publishers over the course of a decade. Since becoming freelance in 2008, I’ve worked on over 300 projects. I am an advanced member of the SfEP, the Society for Editors and Proofreaders, and an SfEP-accredited proofreader.

TRAINING

I have an excellent knowledge of publishing software and initially learnt the skills of copy-editing and proofreading through many years of commissioning and overseeing the work of freelance contributors. I have also attended courses in proofreading, copy-editing, editing for the web, indexing and working with non-publishers.

CLIENTS

Recent clients include: Agency Fish, the British Library, City and Guilds, Constable and Robinson, Godolphin School, HarperCollins, Laurence King, Otter Swimming Club, Parragon, Pearson, Penguin, Phaidon, the Publishers Association, the Quarto Group, RIBA Publishing and RotoVision.

WHEN I AM NOT WORKING...

I enjoy cooking (especially baking and making pastry), eating, exploring my surroundings, playing the flugelhorn and spending time with my husband and two small children.
