Services For Publishers
Luke Finley Editorial: professional editorial support to clients within and beyond the publishing industry.
I have undertaken editorial work for a wide range of clients and types of publication, including copy-editing or proofreading over 100 titles for publishers large (Cambridge University Press, Routledge) and small (British Academy, Boydell & Brewer).
I’m an Advanced Professional Member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP) and I’ve done a variety of training with SfEP and the Publishing Training Centre. I can work in whatever format you require: on-screen or on paper, using BSI marks or other forms of mark-up.
In 1999–2001, I worked for two small publishers in County Durham, so I have some experience of the publishing process and of editing in-house.
As well as editorial skills and experience, I have extensive subject knowledge in social sciences, public policy and politics from a 15-year career in the public and voluntary sectors before setting up Luke Finley Editorial (in 2013/14); and in arts and humanities from my First Class degree in Combined Arts (mainly on literature and English language).
At all times, I provide a reliable service, intelligent and accurate editing, and a sensitive approach to working with authors.
