From David Schultz, Author/Editor:
Lee
Elliott is the kind of copyeditor every author dreams about!
I
used Lee to copyedit the manuscript for my book Money, Politics, and Campaign Finance Reform Law in the States
(Carolina Academic Press, 2003) and he was wonderful. He did a meticulous and timely job reviewing
my manuscript, undertaking the type of editing that was consistent with the
basic ideas I was trying to articulate. He was good in making the minor
grammatical and stylistic changes that authors often ignore but which make the
big difference between prose being adequate versus standing out.
What
I especially liked about Lee was that he did not edit the manuscript and leave
me with a thousand queries and questions. We agreed beforehand that he could
make the minor changes, leaving only a handful of queries for me to handle. We
also did the entire editing process electronically and this was great. No messy
manuscripts full of Post-it™ notes or paperclips.
Lee
is flexible and willing to negotiate on how to do the editing, and his prices
are competitive. I would recommend him to anyone!
