Hi, I'm Betsy Howard of Arden Editorial. I am a professional copyeditor and proofreader for speculative fiction and educational non-fiction. I have my copyediting certificate from UC San Diego, where I honed my copyediting and proofreading skills to professional standards. My academic background is extensive, with degrees in English Literature and History and advanced degrees in Education and Special Education. I have several years of experience as an editor for both freelance authors and small presses and 12 years as a teacher.

I work with a variety of copy, pulling from different aspects of my experience to provide excellent services to authors and publishers. I offer copyediting, line editing, proofreading, manuscript review, and beta reading services.
