Overview
I've been a developmental editor in religion / spirituality / progressive faith-based publishing for over two decades. I spent almost a dozen years as VP of Editorial for Church Publishing Incorporated, a publisher associated with the Episcopal Church, but working broadly across progressive Christianity. In addition to my professional experience, I have a seminary degree and will bring that background to my work on your behalf.
Editorially, my style is collaborative and engaged. How can I give you a fresh perspective? What questions can I ask to help you see the work in a new light? As we conclude our work together, you will have had the opportunity to consider the flow, writing style, and breadth of content in your manuscript, fully prepared for the next steps toward publication.
