Overview
I have worked as a freelance editor since the 1990s and currently work on nonfiction manuscripts of almost any stripe: history, politics, science, nature, biography, and memoir (I will not take on manuscripts concerned with sports or religion). In my Reedsy Portfolio you will see a list of several books I've edited (note: the descriptions of these books come from Amazon and have not been edited by me). I do not edit PDFs.

Proofreader and copy editor, primarily for financial and marketing firms.
I'm also a writer. I wrote book reviews for the now-defunct British publication, Prometheus (editorial members included Toni Morrison, Eduardo Galeano, and Henry Louis Gates Jr.). I've written pop music reviews for Earvolution and classical music annotations for Muze and Naxos. I've also written book reviews for IndieReader. My first book, Letter to a Prohibitionist, which argues for marijuana legalization and an end to the War on Drugs, was published via Amazon's CreateSpace service in 2013.
