Why choose me?

I’ve been trained in proofreading, copy editing and fiction editing, so you can be sure I know what I’m doing.
 
I update my skills regularly by taking part in courses and conferences throughout the year.
 
I’m an Advanced Professional Member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders.
 

Non-fiction

​I focus on mathematics and other science and technology subjects because I have degrees in mathematics and logic plus many years of experience as a computer programmer. I’m a Professional Member of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. 
 

Fiction

I’m most interested in science fiction and fantasy, especially involving magical systems or creatures (think witches, vampires, zombies, faeries), myths and legends, folklore, or dystopia. I like living in imaginary worlds with their own rules.
 

  Caroline Orr is a thoroughly professional and exacting editor. Having worked with Caroline on my first full novel, I was impressed by her attention to detail and her commitment to maintaining my voice. From researching a sensible local place name to helping the reader follow my delving in and out of the first person, Caroline helped keep the narrative alive and on track. I would heartily recommend Caroline to any author.  

G.R. Jordan, fiction author

 Caroline has been a pleasure to work with. She is flexible, thorough, and has a great eye for detail and consistency. Her technical knowledge meant that she was able to quickly get to grips with our digital product and provide meaningful feedback with both developer and editorial needs in mind.
