Overview
Always a curious, lifelong learner, I enjoy copy editing numerous topics and collaborating with all types of people.
My professional copy editing services will polish your writing and be a fresh reading eye to ensure you're saying exactly what you mean in a clear and consistent way.
No job is too small or too large. I copy edit textbooks, trade books, websites, marketing material, and newsletters for individuals, nonprofits, small businesses, and large book publishers such as Macmillan, Rutledge, and John Wiley.
My tutoring experience has honed my ability to offer fair and clear feedback about written communication. As a copy editor, my goal is to enhance text without losing its original meaning or tone.
I also provide editing, proofreading, and indexing services.
I truly enjoy my work, and look forward to assisting authors in producing quality publications.
