Overview
I love language and have the greatest respect for those who are able to translate it to the blank page. As an editor, my approach is to try to understand the author's vision for their own work and then help them achieve the best version of that vision. I get as much of a thrill seeing where the big picture goes awry and helping an author reorient course as I do getting into the weeds with a line edit. For content/developmental editing, I'm happy to do more than one round, focusing first on macro edits and then attending to micro-level issues. I also can offer editorial assessments. Overall I advocate for open lines of communication and transparency throughout the process.
