Overview
I’m a professional editor with 30 years of experience. My work is very thorough, grounded in a deep understanding of the English language. Clarity is key in all publishing, and I help authors create texts that are accessible and engaging.
I have edited both nonfiction and fiction works. On the nonfiction side, I have edited general nonfiction (e.g., history and politics), textbooks, scholarly works including monographs and dissertations, reference volumes, and academic journals. I have 20 years of experience working with STEM topics. On the fiction side, I have edited novels, poetry, and short stories. I also edit websites!
My fact-checking and research skills are excellent. For nonfiction works, I’m an expert on proper citations and reference lists, helping authors to avoid plagiarism or misattribution.
