As Freelance Translator, Copywriter and Copy Editor I have not only written, edited and published my own commercial content, but I've also gained editorial experience working with independent authors who are looking to (self-)publish in English. I have completed both developmental edits and copy edits for a diverse range of publications, both fictional and non-fiction. This introduced me to the use of different style guides (primarily Chicago Manual of Style) and editing tools (such as Track Changes and Grammarly).
