INTRODUCTION:
My name isn’t actually Paisley; it is elle fournier
(which I write all lowercase because it looks better that way—probably the only time I disregard grammar rules).
I am called The Paisley Zebra because I am
an editor of a different stripe.
(When you work with me, you will understand.)
You can reach me at paisleyzebra.editrix@gmail.com
I look forward to working with you!

“If you don’t know your em dash from your elbow, elle is the copy editor for you. (She probably proofread this testimonial.)”
—Celia Bonaduce, author of 11 published books (with more in the works)

FAVORITE PROJECTS:

Book Design, Layout, and Editing by elle fournier/The Paisley Zebra

“[elle] was able to take my manuscript and view it with a fine-tooth comb to root out the missed punctuation, identify inconsistencies in names, dates, and places, and combine the different parts of the book to make one complete manuscript. The book is what it is today because of her, and I’m glad we met and are now friends; I thank her for helping me get this completed.”
—Alene Burnett-Reaugh
