Cheryl Lemmens - Indexing and Editorial Services

Editing: Books Edited and Proofread

My book editing work encompasses both manuscript editing and proofreading. I provide each client with a detailed list of notes and queries, from issues of grammar to names, dates, and other fact-checking items. (I have also done fact-checking as separate, stand-alone work.) Among the reference works on which I rely are the Chicago Manual of Style and the MLA Handbook, the Canadian Oxford Dictionary and Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, and an assortment of other guides, reference books, and foreign-language dictionaries. In addition, I use the Internet extensively in both linguistic and fact-checking queries, and have found many an invaluable Web site en route.

Books are listed chronologically in each section, with the most recently edited first.

  Christopher Hitchens and Tony Blair, Hitchens vs. Blair (Toronto: House of Anansi Press, 2011) – second volume in the Munk Debates series

  From a reader of Hitchens vs. Blair: "It could be legitimately asked what value there is to having this small book when the debate itself is widely available online for free, but I would argue there are at least three benefits. One, there are a few footnotes included in the book that help clarify references the speakers make; two, the book includes an interview with Hitchens as a fun post-script to the debate that's worth reading; and three, being able to read the text is a slightly different experience than is watching the debate."
