Overview
I’m a detail-oriented copy editor and proofreader who has worked on several Hearst Books titles. I specialize in cookbooks (including kids’ cookbooks), cocktail books, and sex + relationships books. I’ve also worked on a photo essay/biography and a self-help/motivational book.
I’m passionate about the evolution of language, and I believe that your voice needs to shine. I’ll offer thorough feedback and edits with the understanding that the final decisions are yours.
I’m always open to learning about new subjects and reading new material. I look forward to collaborating with you!
