Meet Your Editor

Yvonne Smith: Proofreader, Copy Editor, and lifelong book lover

I collaborate with authors and literary professionals to refine manuscripts, eliminate errors, enhance clarity, and improve the reading experience.


Books have been a lifelong companion, shaping my deep appreciation for language and storytelling. With a keen eye for detail, I help writers refine their work—whether it’s smoothing out awkward phrasing, eliminating inconsistencies, or strengthening narrative flow.

As a dedicated editor, I am a proud member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA)—a commitment that reflects my passion for editorial excellence. Working across industry-standard style guides like Chicago, Oxford/Hart's Rules, Associated Press (AP), and the Modern Language Association (MLA), I ensure precision and consistency in every project. Beyond established conventions, I also develop customized style guides, tailoring edits to each unique manuscript or business document.

Bringing a strategic perspective to the editing process, I blend analytical expertise with editorial finesse. My background in project management and business analysis allows me to optimize workflows, maintain editorial schedules, and ensure seamless collaboration across teams. Whether guiding a manuscript from draft to publication or refining business communications, I approach editing with a balance of technical accuracy, clarity, and thoughtful refinement.
