Brittnie Gavin
@brittniegavin
Freelance editor who copy-edits manuscripts and shapes story selection with a detail-first, author-focused approach.
What I'm looking for
I’m a freelance editor who’s passionate about polishing manuscripts for publication and supporting authors through clear, constructive feedback. I bring an enthusiastic, detail-first mindset and strong customer experience to every project.
In my freelance work for Epicenter Press, I’ve aided the selection process for over 50 books and copy-edited multiple manuscripts using Chicago Manual of Style and reader comprehension as guideposts. I read upwards from ten manuscript submissions each month and return timely evaluations that reflect authorial intent.
Before and alongside editing, I worked as an Office Administrator where I coordinated with multiple teams to optimize client needs. I excelled in inside sales, accurately tracked inventory, managed more than 20 schedules at a time, and improved efficiency and routing for technicians—skills I now apply to keeping editorial workflows organized and responsive.
