Sample Edits
1. YA Novel 2. West Yellowstone Memoir 3. Adult Novel 4. Online High school Curriculum 5. Literary Art Journal
Within this first sample I did a comprehensive edit where I would check for the characterization of the characters, looked for plot holes where a reader could get confused on what was taking place, and basic grammatical edits such as sentence structure, spellings or mistakes.

For this next sample, I was given a manuscript in it's raw form and they wanted us to copyedit, comprehensive, and proofread the piece. I went through several stages of edits such switching third person to first, fact checking the material, and formatting the piece so the author could have an idea of how it would look in it's completed stage.

This was Beta edit, similar to proofreading with minor copyedits. The manuscript was near completion and publication worthy. I was the project manager over this novel by overseeing the other editors and their edits, making sure that they incorporated what the author was asking us to check. I also completed my own editing with comments and following Microsoft Word's track changes. I worked very closely with the author and editors.

With the online curriculum the supervisors wanted us to not directly edit the work but fact check and address the areas of where we felt needed to be addressed. We stylized it with "Concerns, Recommendations, and Benefits" sections. I worked in a group and partnership for this piece. We created a separate .pdf file to send with the suggestions.
This was a developmental edit. Where I would meet with the creator, discuss what additions or changes needed to be made for the design, pieces, and overall look for the journal. I also edited a variety of submissions such as short stories, poems, and essays that were selected for the journal. I worked weekly with the author and separately.
