Proofreading with Erika Steeves

This service is intended for authors who have already worked with an editor and have a designed PDF nearly ready for publishing.

This is a final quality-check pass to catch any rogue typos and formatting inconsistencies. I typically mark up the designed PDF.

Erika Steeves

Editor

Erika (she/her) is a speculative fiction editor with over a decade of experience helping authors write unputdownable books they’re proud to publish. She specializes in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and dystopian fiction, with a special interest in short fiction.

She worked as an in-house editing assistant before starting her own business, E.S. Editing, in 2012. If you’re looking for a seasoned copyeditor to refine your prose while preserving your voice, she provides authors with the rigorous technical polish of a traditional publisher.

When not editing, you’ll find her reading, bullet journaling, making collages, and working out in
her home gym. She lives in Kitchener, Ontario, editing out of a cozy century-home attic.
