Copy Editing and Proofreading

I've had advisory and consultant editing roles with broadcasters and publishers at home and abroad. Based on my wide experience, I'm happy to offer you

Tony D Triggs, editor and proofreader

Copy editing, to bring manuscripts to print-readiness

Proofreading - that final check on every last detail before the first print run

Expert advice for publishers in the fields covered by my own publications

Help and guidance for authors at work on manuscripts.

Attention to detail makes all the difference! An embarrassed publisher had to destroy thousands of copies of a new book after confusing 'putrefy' and 'purify.' A proofreader would have saved the day!   

I advise, proofread and copy edit in the areas where I am widely published - mainly children's and educational books (as featured here). However, I have qualified associates with expertise in fiction and humanities. Foremost among them is my novelist son Robin Triggs, author of Night Shift and Human Resources.

We're old enough to remember paper but normally work with digital copy, proposing changes in a clear-cut way that leaves the author, editor or publisher in charge.

​

We work as quickly as care allows

and welcome all queries.
