Editing 

I have worked as an editor, copy-editor and proofreader for more than a decade. Although particularly interested in history and archaeology, I have worked across a wide range of subjects for traditional publishers as well as independent authors. At present, I work primarily on academic books, articles and PhDs. I also provide indexes and can be contacted at l.fentonpublishing@gmail.com.
