Overview
I am a dedicated editor with a passion for helping enthusiastic authors improve their work, gain confidence as writers, and produce top-notch manuscripts they are proud of. Whether you need help with concept development and manuscript organization or a line-by-line copyedit or proofread, I'll work with you to get your material polished and ready to seek professional publication, agency representation, or to be self-published.
Editing is a collaborative process between an author and editor, so our work together will be more than just an exchange of documents and the proverbial red pen! I want to get to know you, your unique writing voice, and how I can best help you achieve your vision for your manuscript. Throughout our work together, I'll offer thorough edits, industry knowledge from my experience as an acquiring editor, and support personalized to you and your goals.
I specialize in nonfiction and I've worked on a wide variety of topics: self-help, personal development, psychology, health, nutrition, parenting, education, guided journals and workbooks, mindfulness, New Age, body/mind/spirit, and more.
I'm eager to bring my expertise to our collaboration. Ready to take your manuscript to the next level?
