Overview
I am a writer, editor, and proofreader who has worked both in-house and as a freelancer. Over the past fifteen years, I have worked with a wide range of clients in book publishing, universities, and professional associations, as well as an assortment of self-publishing authors on both fiction and non-fiction books.
I specialize in developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, and manuscript evaluations. Please refer to my portfolio for a sample of some of my editing projects, and get in touch if you have any questions or would like a quote for your project.
