About Rowan Kersley

COPYEDITOR, PROOFREADER & BOOK ENTHUSIAST

Hi, I'm Rowan

I'm a freelance book editor specializing in copyediting services. I'm also a hockey fan, dog lover, potato chip connoisseur, pop culture and entertainment guru, and an avid reader.


Oh! And, I'm obsessed with helping authors prepare their books for publishing!


My favourite pastime is getting lost in a book. I have a knack for quickly picking out inconsistencies and noticing errors others don't see. I am drawn to using this ability to help authors with their novels. Attention to detail is my superpower and my clients love me for it!
