My name is Graham T. Clark. I am a freelance editor living in Portland, Oregon. I do developmental, line, and copy editing of both fiction and nonfiction. I am particularly interested in texts relating to history, politics, travel, and science fiction.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a keen eye for analyzing text to see whether the various parts\n make sense and fit together well. In persuasive or expository pieces, \nthis can mean looking at whether arguments make sense, whether the \ninformation supports the thesis, or whether more information is needed. \nIn fiction pieces, this involves looking at the elements of the plot and\n whether they add up to a coherent story. Does your protagonist have a \nbelievable motivation? Is the story set in an immersive world? Does the \nending make sense? What can be done to improve these aspects of the \nstory? These are the questions I address as I read your text. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, if you are content with those aspects of your story, I have a passion for the smaller details as well. Where to break paragraphs, how to cut down the word count, and when to use a semicolon are all issues that I address with rigor. A few extra words added or cut can often make prose much stronger; I will help you find those words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am a proud member of the Editorial Freelancers Association<\/a> and the Northwest Editors Guild<\/a>. I also have a certificate in editing from the University of Washington. This course was taught by expert editors and covered every aspect of the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you haven\u2019t worked with a professional editor before, I will happily explain the editorial process to you and do a free sample edit of a few pages of text so that you know what service you are interested in. From there, we can come up with an editorial plan tailored to your needs. I hope you get in touch, and I look forward to seeing your writing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My name is Graham T. Clark.
