Overview
I am a freelancer with 10+ years of writing and editing experience. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2014 with a BA in Psychology. I began my own freelance editing business, BookWorm Editing, in 2015, and have not had a single dissatisfied customer. I also run an Instagram blog on writing and editing. I published my first novel in 2011 and another in 2018. I specialize in new and inexperienced authors and take pride in extremely thorough editing that analyzes every detail.
Previous experience in the fields of childcare, psychology, medicine, chemistry, biology, and history enable me to edit a wide variety of nonfiction and academic works as well as fiction, poetry, or children's books.
