Will Tyler

Scholarly copy editor, proofreader, and copy writer. I specialize in fiction and literature, but I read other subjects as well, including religious studies, history, and politics. In addition to four years of freelancing, I have three years of in-house experience with university presses and journals. I write book jacket and catalog copy for Southern Illinois University Press, where I also created advertising campaigns and ran the book awards division while serving as a marketing assistant. My recent projects include * The Lovers Set Down Their Spoons by Heather A. Slomski * Family Feeling by Jean Ross Justice * Congotronic by Shane Book * India’s Organic Farming Revolution by Sapna Thottahil * Religion and Women in Britain, c. 1660–1760 edited by Sarah Apetrei and Hannah Smith * Literature and the Encounter with God in Post-Reformation England by Michael Martin * Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi by Richard Rohr
