Hello!
This is Marinda. She reads a lot.
Marinda is a book publishing professional with a master’s degree in the field from New York University, a certificate in project management from University of Washington, and over a decade of industry experience. She aims to help make the industry more inclusive both on the shelves and behind the scenes by advocating for conscious language usage. Marinda provides editorial services for independent authors pursuing self-publishing, as well as for trade publishing houses.
Marinda proofreads and copyedits children’s and young adult books and manga, graphic novels, and light novels. She also works on adult-level literary and commercial novels and nonfiction books in the self-enrichment, memoir and essay, New Age, and business categories. As a reader, she loves dark, twisty stories in the thriller and horror genres and introspective literary fiction.
When she’s not editing, Marinda likes to watch odd and artsy movies and true crime documentaries, play cute video games with brightly colored graphics, and cuddle her two cats and Chihuahua pup. A former New Yorker, she now lives in the Pacific Northwest.
Marinda is currently accepting new freelance projects on a case-by-case basis. You can contact her at info@marindaproofreads.com.
