Overview
I'm a professional editor who can help with copyediting, proofreading, or line editing services. I can also provide a reader's report for developmental feedback on your book.
Specialty areas include young adult fiction (the angstier the better); narrative nonfiction for adults or children (including memoirs, biographies, and true crime #ssdgm); and most other commercial genres, including literary fiction, children's fiction, romance, science fiction, and mystery. I hold a bachelor's degree in English with a specialization in literature, and combined with a journalism background, I use my creative writing expertise to provide thoughtful yet precise reviews and edits. I am well versed in Chicago Manual of Style (preferred by most publishing houses), and I can recite the first fifteen lines of the Canterbury Tales in Middle English (#skillz).
With more than six years traditional publishing experience and eight years of project management, I am ready to bring my skills to help you achieve your own publishing and writing goals.
