Editing & Proofreading

PUBLISHED!

She always ensured that my voice came through in the writing and that the tone stayed true to the message I intended to convey.

"Seeing what was once just a collection of ideas in my head come to life in my newly released book has been incredible. Since I had no prior experience writing books, I am incredibly thankful that Tamelynda was by my side while we worked together to edit, refine, and raise the writing standard from the initial draft to my final copy. Tamelynda is detail-oriented, kind, and a very patient editor. She is a true professional in her craft. What I appreciate most about working with Tamelynda is that she always ensured that my voice came through in the writing and that the tone stayed true to the message I intended to convey in my book." ~ Karen Dubi, Author

    Testimonials

    When you work with Tamelynda you get more than a book editor, you get a writing advisor.

    “I was very impressed working with Tamelynda on completing my book. She did a wonderful job on editing, including rewriting and restructuring sentences and making suggestions that not only made sense but enhanced the reader’s experience. She is dedicated to the process and goes the extra mile and it shows in the reviews the book is receiving. When you work with Tamelynda you get more than a book editor, you get a writing advisor. I look forward to working with her on future projects.” ~ W.T. Hamilton award winning author, speaker and business consultant.  


      

    This project was my first book, and I wanted to have a large amount of guidance before publishing it for the world to see. Tamelynda Lux was patient with me and gave me many tips on how to improve the first writing of my manuscript. Tamelynda was easy to work with. Her website was very helpful in scheduling times to meet, and she was readily available. I recommend Tamelynda Lux's services because she is a great editor and was very helpful in writing my first book. ~ BRAIN STORM: Living with an Acoustic Neuroma Brain Tumor, ~ Lisa Porisch



      

    I needed professional editing and help navigating the editing and publishing process as a beginning book creator. Tamelynda helped provide copy/line editing support through editing, formatting, proofreading, and getting into the final publishing stages. 

    I love her clear, concise, upfront feedback, organization skills and style, and keen ability to spot details needing correction. I appreciated how easy it was to communicate with Tamelynda that we could accomplish most of the process via email with a couple of video calls. I also love the way she provided feedback (with comments and tracking changes as they are made). Tamelynda is thorough, and I trusted my work in her hands!

    I feel confident in recommending Tamelynda to other writers as I know that they will get professional service, their book will evolve into a better version than before the editing process, and they will have a book they can be very proud of. 

    When I saw Tamelynda present her information and style in Dr. Richard Nongard’s TwelveWeekBook.com class, I knew she was the choice for me because she came across as very organized, professional, and transparent in her ability to outline the editing process. I needed someone as organized and perfectionistic as I was to know I would get the quality service I needed and expected. She delivered on all of those things! ~ Cultivating Spiritual Connection: 7 Tools to Grow a Life of Love, Joy, Peace, and Abundance ~ Wendy Crane



      

    I needed an experienced book editor who would help make my writing more concise and impactful without erasing my voice. Tamelynda went over and beyond to not only edit my book but to become a partner in the whole process. I was able to write with more ease and confidence knowing that I was in good hands. She considered and understood the intentions behind my words and helped me refine my voice. Tamelynda was detail-oriented and methodical. She is a great communicator. I appreciated that she took the time to explain and guide me through the process instead of simply giving me the end product. I learned a lot through working with her. When you work with Tamelynda, you get way more than her editing services. She is patient, kind, and knowledgeable and WILL help you get your book out of your head into the world. ~ Facing Your Anxiety: A Personal Guide to Freedom from Anxiety Paperback ~ Jacqueline Y. Chu






      

    I was not at all sure whether my writings were sufficient for publication. And I did not know anything about the publication process. Tamelynda jumped in and assured me of the possibility of publication and then stepped up and undertook the steps required to get my short stories into a form that worked well for publication. She undertook all the publishing-related tasks, including editing and managing the formatting and cover design processes. She also set up my KDP Amazon account, created my author page, and uploaded the book. Tamelynda knows how to take a possible publication from its basics to a publishing state and has a lot of expertise both with the content and the positive relationship with the author. A huge thank you to Tamelynda! ~ Life at the Endswell - Dave Shaw

    Tamelynda is my first choice for future publications.

      "Working with Tamelynda was amazing. Even though I have written numerous books, she went beyond correcting my errors, helping me clarify my message and share more effectively. My latest book has earned five-star reviews, thanks in part to her fantastic editing. If you plan to self-publish, hire and work with a professional editor.

    The Promise won another award!

     "So grateful to announce that my book, The Promise won another award! This means a lot to me because I really stepped out of my comfort zone and took some big risks in the way I wrote this book. 

    I had a vision of how I wanted it to be and I followed through with it. 

    I want to thank Tamelynda Lux for editing this book."


    W.T. Hamilton, author of The Promise (Amazon)

    Tamelynda's guidance was invaluable . . .

     "I had the idea for writing my book quite a long time ago but wasn't sure how to get my collection of thoughts to turn into a book. Tamelynda's guidance was invaluable in helping me make sure the book was readable and got the information across to the reader all while making sure that my voice was never lost in the process. In addition to being an invaluable editor she helped me get through all the details of formatting and making sure files were ready to upload to Amazon and Ingram Spark, all while I was also managing the illness and death of a close family member. This book would not have been published without her help."


    Shanti Duncan, author of Treatment For Youth With Sexual Behavior Problems  (Amazon)

    You can also expect close attention to editing formality

     "Tamelynda's input significantly contributed to the flow and clarity of the material in my book. Her most important contribution was challenging how the material was organized, which ultimately caused me to revise sections of the book for better flow. 

    In addition you can also expect close attention to editing formality. All-in-all Tamelynda is an excellent editor."


    Glen Personey, author of Any Fool Can Complete an Acquisition (Amazon)

    She is a true gem.

     "As a first-time author, I had no idea what it takes to turn a manuscript into a self-published book. At times I felt like a ‘deer in the headlights’ with all the decisions, tasks, and timelines, but the best decision I made was hiring Tamelynda as my editor. Tamelynda’s excellent editing skills, expert guidance, and her support and caring made this a positive experience. As an editor, Tamelynda is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and, most importantly, committed to the author’s vision and voice. As well as editing, Tamelynda pulled together the resources I needed for proofreading and formatting, held my hand through an anxiety-provoking process, and made it seem easy. I felt like I was working with a trusted friend. Because it was such a positive experience, I will write more books and plan to have Tamelynda edit them all! She is a true gem and I would highly recommend her services. "


    Niki Hughes, author of Radical Self-Love:  Live a Vibrant Life Beyond Fear and Limitation (Amazon)

    Wow! What a huge relief to be in the hands of a professional.

     "Tamelynda was the perfect editor for me as I wrote my first book. She was encouraging and supportive. Equally as important, she was also honest with her suggested edits. She made my book better. From my first consultation with her, I felt like I could trust her guidance, and she did not let me down. She was always responsive to my emails, and she delivered the edits on the timeline she promised. Her fee is reasonable, and I will definitely use her services again on my next book."

     "I recently wrote my first book. My head was swimming with many questions, decisions to make, and so many details to figure out. Lucky for me, I found my way to Tamelynda Lux and hired her to edit my book. Wow! What a huge relief to be in the hands of a professional. 

    Not only did Tamelynda do an excellent job of editing the spelling, grammar, and structure of my book, she offered the most amazing advice regarding the sub-title, the purchase of specific URLs, and more. She is incredibly professional in her approach when working with clients. She was very forthright about the changes I should make. I was very relieved to be in such good hands with Tamelynda. 

    She is an excellent editor. She is also very helpful and knowledgeable about other aspects of self-publishing. Knowing that my book was in good hands put me at ease and allowed me to focus on other aspects of running my business. The final product delivered by Tamelynda was excellent.

    "I had the pleasure of working with Tamelynda on my newly released book, Influential Rapport, Influence and Persuade in Work, Life, and Leisure. Tamelynda brought an incredible amount of insight and perspective to the book and really helped focus areas that might otherwise have been confusing to the reader. Her ability to clarify key points definitely made the book better.
    I would highly recommend engaging Tamelynda on your next project as every author needs a third party view to really help bring the book to life." ~ James Seeto author of Influential Rapport, Influence and Persuade in Work, Life and Leisure (Amazon) and The 5 Keys To Hypnotic Selling.

    "Tamelynda was recommended to me as an editor after I had several bad, yet expensive, experiences working with strangers. I taught college writing for nearly 30 years and any writer knows that one cannot truly edit or proofread one's own work. I admit to being a little uncomfortable paying by the hour but Tamelynda fairly estimated her time and did a wonderful job. It was a pleasure working with her and look forward to working with her on my next project." ~ Joseph Onesta author of Uneasy Faith: How to Survive Religious Trauma without Sacrificing Spirituality (Amazon)

    "Tamelynda Lux edited my first book, and there are several things that I appreciate about her quality and style of editing. She does not take away your voice. Each time she would complete a section of my book, she would send back the version that still contained the mark-ups to see the original with her suggestions, and also she attached the 'clean' version, which had all of her edits with mark-ups removed. Tamelynda is very detailed oriented and provided a wealth of suggestions throughout the manuscript with explanations and questions that prompted me to clarify passages that would enhance the reading audience's understanding. Something that was extremely wise of her is her advice on the referencing of scripture. I had no experience in this area of referencing. Finally, in addition to her price being absolutely fair and reasonable, she provided a scholarly level of editing that matched and surpassed many of my professors who served on my thesis and dissertation committees in graduate school. With Tamelynda Lux, you have the whole package of wisdom and input for the making of a great publication!” ~Joan Weathersbee Ellason, Ph.D. LPC author of Finally.......the How To of Forgiveness: A Three-Tier Approach to Dry Your Tears (Amazon)


    I am fortunate and grateful to now have someone as gifted as Tamelynda Lux to call my editor!

    "As one who has waited a while to become a published author, one thing I’ve longed to casually and comfortably say is, “my editor . . .” 

    Tamelynda Lux and I seemed to have connected and hit it off immediately. While we are geographically miles apart, our Zoom meetings always feel warm and personable. That’s exactly what I need and want when I’m engaged in something as intimate and creative as writing. 

    Of course, Tamelynda has the technical skills needed to catch and correct the too-often-there and overlooked grammatical errors. What means so much to me is her ability to collaborate and hear my voice in my writing and hold true to it in the finished results.

    It’s been said, a truly talented dancer makes their dance partner look like a star. Well, that’s what Ms. Lux does as an editor.

    I am fortunate and grateful to now have someone as gifted as Tamelynda Lux to call my editor! I look forward to many more dances."

    ~ Rachel Stein, author of segue (Amazon)

    My book came out shining.

    "I found Tamelynda on the higher end cost-wise but, my book came out shining. As the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for" certainly applies here. On top of getting a nicely edited book, I got lots of knowledge out of the deal. I started with very little, next to none, and at least now I have a clue. Tamelynda helped me understand the flow of how it all comes together. Thank You Tamelynda"

     ~ William L Clark, author of Hypnosis... Is It Real? (Amazon)

    An editor with common sense and empathy

    "As a new author, I was looking for an editor and Tamelynda was recommended to me.

    She immediately put me at my ease, explained the process of self-publishing, and even encouraged me to think of writing a workbook to go with the book I had written.

    I had sent three chapters to another editor prior to meeting Tamelynda and felt that his suggestions made me lose “my voice.”  Tamelynda did just the opposite!  She offered a keen eye, constructive suggestions and the result is that I have a book of which I am incredibly proud. I can highly recommend her to any author looking for an editor with common sense and empathy (I think that because she is an author herself she has heaps). Thank you Tamelynda."

    "Tamelynda reviewed and edited my children’s book (my first), and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I am a former English and ESL (English as a second language) teacher, studied journalism, and thought I knew how to write. The good news is I can write, but Tamelynda’s keen eye and sense of the story really helped to polish the finished product. For one thing, she can see the story from the reader’s perspective and make suggested changes that round out the delivery of the content. For any author in need of comprehensive editing, I gladly recommend Tamelynda!" ~ Greg Gibbs, author of The Hummingbird That Could

    How Editing Works with Tamelynda Lux

    My specialty is copy/line editing (steps 3 and 4 on the infographic below). However, I have done a number of developmental editing (step 2) projects which then flowed into copy/line editing. I also enjoy proofreading (steps 5 or 7).  It's up to you to choose at which point in the life-cycle of the editing process you would like to begin working with me.


    What you will find with my editing is that I am very detailed-specific. Several of my author clients have indicated that even though they have degrees in English and are proficient in their writing, they are glad they entrusted their manuscript to me because I picked up things they didn't see. How important is it for your book to be as good as it can be, as error-free as possible? 


    You will also find with my editing method that I am an assertive editor, making changes when needed and appropriate while also commenting and asking questions if there is something we need to discuss or I require clarification for. We communicate by email and Zoom, where I can share the screen and show the manuscript. This will benefit you because it's easy to understand when we look at the document and discuss it. Ultimately ALL changes are up to you the author. What impact would it have on you knowing that you are working with someone who really has cares about you and your message?


    What is important to me is ensuring your voice is maintained because YOUR VOICE MATTERS. I am editing to elevate your message so that readers understand your message AND ensure grammar, punctuation, clarity, and flow are correct. Imagine having your completed published book in your hand, feeling proud that this, your book, clearly delivers your message while honoring your voice!


    Not ready for editing but have specific questions about editing, publishing, or getting your book completed? You can book a Self-Publishing Consultation 30 minutes. Zoom link provided upon confirmation. 


    Ready for editing and already know you want me to work on your project? Send me an email, and I will send you the details, including the editing agreement. info@TamelyndaLux.com

    NONFICTION is my area of experience

    I provide editing support for licensed and registered therapists, hypnotherapists/hypnotists, and business consultants for their nonfiction books. I also hold a special place in my heart for for those writing their life stories/memoirs.


    "Line editing, or grammar editing, remains important, regardless of genre or style. Fiction, however, has elements such as plot and characterization that need to be examined. Nonfiction elements include organization and clarity." ~ Author Learning Centre


    Developmental editing

    • Have an idea but it's still in its infancy? In a coaching role, I will work with you to clarify your goals and bring structure and organization to your project.
    • Undecided about an idea for a business book and don't know where to begin? Together we can break the topic down into digestible chunks making it much easier for you to tackle and succeed.


    Move Beyond Stuck - Help with chapter content

    • As you are writing, you may experience moments of being stuck. I can help you generate content for one chapter or several. In an interview format, we will have a conversation to explore your thoughts.
    • I'm the person who listens—to you. The questions I will ask will help clarify what it is you're attempting to put on paper. 
    • Interviewing for clarity is something I've been doing for 30+ years. My experience came first as a career coach, then as a facilitator for business excellence and educational program development in corporate and non-profit worlds, as a life coach, and a hypnosis practitioner.
    • A published author and experienced editor, what matters most to me is providing support to help you reveal what it is you wish to write about. Your voice matters!
    • Process: 1:1 private interview via Zoom; session recorded and transcribed; notes provided regarding highlights from my perspective. You choose what is useful to your writing and continue from there.


    Line editing

    • Think of line editing as a line-by-line review instead of an overall manuscript critique. During the line editing process, I look for flow, tone and clarity, and will highlight problems such as run-on sentences, clichés and pacing. 
    • Although punctuation and grammar are not the focus of a line edit, I often will do both at the same time. Usually, however, it's still necessary to have copy editing after a line edit.


    Copy editing

    • As a copy editor, I am reviewing content for punctuation, grammar, spelling and the project’s unique style or rules specific to your project and/or the publication to which you plan on submitting.
    • I am experienced with the following style guides: Chicago (CMoS), American Psychological Association (APA), Modern Language Association (MLA), Associated Press (AP), Christian Writer's, and American Medical Association (AMA).


    Proofreading

    • In some respect, this could be considered similar to copy editing. The term refers to the hard-copy process where a “proof” — a test print of a book or other print publication that has been laid out, including graphics etc. — is given a final review before the project goes to print. This is best done after you've worked with a book formatting specialist.
    • The proofreading stage is your last chance to catch any misplaced apostrophes, typos and missing serial commas before your project is published. 
    • While proofreading, I am also watching for layout issues such as unintentional extra spaces, missing bylines or incorrectly numbered pages.
