Overview
During the day, I'm an experienced magazine editor, but I moonlight as a freelance proofreader, copy editor and book reviewer. I specialize in romance and women's fiction, but have experience in graphic novels, manga, non-fiction entertainment and personal essays as well. I'm a great communicator and I absolutely love getting to read the books that come through Reedsy. Let me help you use my passion for grammar to help you have the cleanest manuscript possible.
