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 and nine-plus years 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. She also works on adult-level literary and commercial novels, and nonfiction books in the self-enrichment, memoir and essay, 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 strange and artsy movies and true crime documentaries, play cute video games with bright colors, and cuddle her Siamese cat and Chihuahua pup.

Marinda is currently accepting new freelance projects. You can contact her at info@marindaproofreads.com.
