Hello! I'm Karen Peradon, freelance editor and self-published author from Western Australia.
Originally from the south of England, I’ve lived in the glorious land of Aus since 2000, and in Perth, Western Australia since 2009. (I feel very lucky!) I’m mum to two awesome young adults.
Words are my medium, be it writing, playing (Scrabble or Wordle), reading (fiction and non in paperback, Kindle or even books on my phone) and working. I love diving in, creating and shaping words.
I’ve been a copyeditor since 2011 after getting my Diploma of Publishing (Professional Book Editing, Proofreading and Publishing). Since then, I have edited novels, non-fiction, memoirs, theses, resumes, websites, essays, film scripts and brochures.
As a writer, I know how much effort goes into creating a piece of writing, so I always treat my client’s work with respect and care. All my edits are suggestions, and I will explain why I’m making them. My aim is that my editing makes the author a better writer.
I have self-published five of my own books and guided many clients through the self-publishing process. I have also run workshops on how to self-publish.
Here at Red Feather I offer:
- Copyediting
- Manuscript Assessment
- Book Formatting
- Self-Publishing Guidance
Please contact me here to discuss your project. I can’t wait to read your masterpiece.
