OTT EDITORIAL

PROOFREADING AND DETAIL EDITING

GET STARTED

WHO I AM AND WHAT I DO

I am a linguist and detail editor specializing in magazines, books, and articles (online or in print). My academic credentials include two BAs with honors (one in Linguistics and one in Japanese) and an MSc in Forensic Linguistics. I have achieved numerous writing awards, and more than 30 pieces of my own writing have been published by various sources (including but not limited to the Minnesota Society for Poetry, the Conference for Culture, Language, and Social Practice, Notes and Queries, and Writers Weekly, the world's largest freelance e-zine).


Whether you just need quick, one-time help or are looking for a long-term editor, I’m happy to help!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Customer Care

I get to know each and every one of my clients so that I can best help them with their projects. I welcome any and all questions about the written word free of charge—let’s talk! If I can’t help you, I may be able to point you to someone who can. I respond in 24 hours or less!

Quality Results

My clients’ work regularly goes on to successful publication, ranking highly on Amazon and with print sellers such as Barnes and Noble (for novels), the first page of Google (for websites), and global distribution in print and app stores (for magazines). These are just a few examples of all the places my clients can find their work. If you’ve got projects that don’t fit into these categories, that’s okay!

Fast Turnaround

I work according to my clients’ schedules, with most projects under 10,000 words completed within 24 hours. I respond to emails quickly and am reachable on weekends.


DON’T PANIC, I’M A PROFESSIONAL

I am the sole owner and full-time proofreader for
Ott Editorial—each piece is personally edited and reviewed by me.

SAY HELLO TO CARRIE OTT

Hello! Thanks for stopping by Ott Editorial! I’m an editor in love with my work, and I’d be happy to get your text on its way to going live. I like to get to know my clients and am very friendly, so don’t be afraid to send me questions!


Though I’ve lived in Hungary and Japan offering translation and language services for companies and small non-profits, I’ve traveled all over the world and can provide culturally-informed solutions. In my free time, I enjoy designing tattoos, mountain biking, tall ship sailing, and watching movies.


We’ll Review It

Once I’ve completed the work, I’ll send it back to you for review. We can talk about next steps and good strategies. If needed, I’ll take another pass through the text with your feedback in mind (don’t worry—it won’t cost you any more).

I’ll Take a Look

Once we agree on what needs to be done,
I’ll do it—and I’ll keep you informed along the way.

Present your idea

Shoot me an email describing what you’re looking for—it could be proofreading, help getting published, formatting help, or anything else!


I’ll Deliver It

Once we’ve worked together to make sure you’ve gotten what you wanted, the work’s done! I’ll send you your text in whatever file type works best for you.

Editor-in-Chief

Email: carrieott00@gmail.com

Web: http://otteditorial.com

I have worked in a wide variety of fields (medical, fiction, non-fiction, biography and memoir, poetry, children’s books, health and wellness, product guides/booklets/labels, translations, legal, and more) and text types (websites, newsletters, magazines, novels, novellas, short stories, poems, subtitles, etc). I often work with non-native English speakers who request special editorial attention so that I both correct their grammar and assist them in mastering English.

If you can write it, I can edit it!

My standard rate is two cents per word.
However, hourly or other payment methods and rates can
be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Contact me and I will discuss any pricing concerns with you!
