Overview
My goal is to help each author I work with tell their stories in the most effective and accurate way. As a lifetime reader and writer, and a professional editor with one of the largest Christian publishers in the country, I have experience with copy editing and proofreading, and I shepherd our books through the entire publishing process each year. Whether you need an extensive copy edit or a thorough proofread, I'm here to help.
I have intimate familiarity with the Chicago Manual of Style and the characteristics that make each romantic story unique. I know exactly what to look for in your manuscript; and with my attention to detail, you can rest assured that I won't miss the small things.
Communication is a priority for me. I will be prompt and responsive at all times. I make it a goal that clients will not go longer than 24 hours without hearing from me unless I've provided them advanced notice of my absence. I believe that editing is a collaborative effort between the author and editor, and I embody that with my approach. I'll get to know you and your vision for the piece.
My rates are competitive. I want each client to be able to afford the guidance they need, and I'm willing to work out financial plans that fit your needs.
Whatever you're writing, I want to be an asset to your team and provide for your specific editorial needs.
