Overview
My thorough attention to detail and commitment to the ownership of each and every word make me an ideal copyeditor. Two years of experience editing academic manuscripts and five before that handling marketing webcopy have enabled me to hone my skills in error detection, tone and audience, task management, fact-checking, constructive feedback, and content quality enhancement. Within academia I specialize in the humanities, keeping informed on developments in the disciplines of cultural anthropology, interpersonal psychology, and gender/sexuality studies. My passion projects involve fantasy literature and world-building. Let’s chat about the editing you need and how I could be of service!

I perform close copyediting of academic manuscripts in which I also cross-check figures, tables, art and front matter, query authors to confirm changes, conform copy to its assigned style, and develop indexes of key terms. I have completed more than forty books to date for clients like Routledge/Taylor and Francis Group. Editing samples are available upon request.
