The Right Blend of Wordnerdery and Birdnerdery
|
Hello! I'm Laura Whittemore, experienced copy editor and proofreader and longtime avid birder. I specialize in books on birds, birding, and natural history and have been putting the hyphen in "scrub-jay" since 2011. With my subject matter expertise, I'll catch errors like medium [median] coverts, Great-horned [Great Horned] Owl, American Ornithologists' Union [Ornithological Society post 2016], errors between bird in photo and description in caption, and much more.
Publishers hire me for series work because of my birding and outdoor knowledge, particularly of the Pacific Northwest. More and more readers, and of course authors, are turning to birds and the outdoors for pleasure, challenge, adventure, and peace. Trust me to ensure the places, species, and random facts are all correct. |
