Music Editing (Copyediting)/Proofreading          

Would you like to present or to publish an error-free musical score? Are you working on an extensive project, such as a guitar tutor, or a musicological treatise? Perhaps you have even proof-read several times and still find errors, or, you just want to check the content from an unbiased reader on logical structure, consistency and style.

A logical next step would be to employ the services of a professional proof reader or copy editor! As a proof/copy editor I would read your manuscript systematically and uncover commonplace mistakes usually missed by the author.

On a more intellectual level, I could assist you with defining the “concrete” aspects of a project from initial idea to the finished publication.

My service is offered to publishers, authors or institutions of all kind.
Below you will find information on:
