Copy Editor, Proofreader, Beta Reader, and Manuscript Evaluator
Hi, I’m Ceylan Ozguner, and I’m a copy editor and proofreader of fiction (sci-fi/fantasy, mystery, action/adventure) and nonfiction (mind-body-spirit, metaphysical, business). I can help smooth out the rough edges in your story to make your writing shine! I can go through your manuscript to fix grammar, punctuation, and syntax issues, as well as check for consistency, coherency, and clarity. To learn more about my services and to get in touch, go to my website at https://ozeditorialservices.com. While I mostly focus on book-length projects, I can work on a variety of projects, such as papers, blogs, dissertations, and websites.
Education
I have two bachelor’s degrees and have taken certificate editing and proofreading courses from the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA), the Society of Editors (ACES) with Poynter, the Editorial Arts Academy, Proofread Anywhere, and LinkedIn.
Experience
I worked for an engineering firm for over 8 years as a technical editor of mostly business documents (grant proposals and the like). During that time, I also served as the editorial assistant for two scholarly publications by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), helping authors by copyediting their papers and articles prior to publication. In early 2023, I started freelancing and opened up my own copyediting and proofreading business. Since then, I’ve branched out into book-length projects, focusing on fiction and nonfiction. I work with publishers, businesses, and independent clients. My favorite genre is fiction, especially sci-fi/fantasy and mystery novels.
Credentials
I have certificates from the EFA, EAA, ACES & Poynter, Proofread Anywhere, and LinkedIn.
