I have been freelancing as a nonfiction book editor for more than twenty years, for both university and trade presses as well as individual authors. I work as a developmental editor, copyeditor, line editor, and substantive editor. I also edit academic journal articles as well as those aimed at a more general audience – in my previous incarnation I was a newspaper editor at metro dailies, including Newsday and the San Jose Mercury News. Thanks to my journalism training, I am fast, have a reverence for deadlines (I have a clock in my head), and an eagle eye for problems—authors marvel at my ability to catch discrepancies, inconsistencies, and redundancies often hundreds of pages apart. My motto is “Never give a critic a free lunch.”

Copy editor, proofreader, manuscript evaluator, and beta reader with years of experience open to all forms of written work. I prefer working on book projects, which most of my work consists of, whether fiction or nonfiction (though my favorite is urban fantasy). My favorite fiction genres are science fiction, fantasy, and mystery, while my favorite nonfiction genres are metaphysical and mind-body-spirit. I enjoy copyediting or proofreading all of those genres. Essays, blogs, articles, academic papers, business/marketing materials, and more are all welcome too. I prefer the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), but I am also familiar with MLA, APA, and AP styles. I’ve worked with indie authors and publishers and would be happy to work with you to polish your prose. I have editing and proofreading certificates from the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA), the Society for Editing (ACES) and Poynter, Editorial Arts Academy, Proofread Anywhere, and more.
I will work on the following: grammar, punctuation, syntax, sentence structure, consistency, flow, and more. Contact me so we can discuss your project! My website is www.ozeditorialservices.com, and you can email me at ceylano@ozeditiorialservices.com. Feel free to check out my LinkedIn profile at https://www. linkedin.com/in/ceylanozguner. If you’d like to see your book improve, then please reach out so we can work together to make that happen. I’m happy to do a sample edit of up to 1000 words for book-length projects. I also offer a free 30-minute consultation.

I hold a master of divinity (MDiv) degree from Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (LSTC), and served as a pastor for 14 years. If your writing has to do with faith, theology, Bible, and/or church, my professional experience in those areas offers you value not commonly found in a copyeditor.
My passion and strengths are in matters of Christian faith (Lutheran; mainline or progressive), Bible, church, theology (down-to-earth; not overly academic). In addition to the style manuals noted below (CMOS and AP), I am accustomed to working with the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) Handbook of Style.
