Overview
What this means for you is that I enjoy working with people from many different backgrounds. I am skilled at preserving your vision and voice while clarifying the structure and improving the integrity of your work. I am gifted at spotting inconsistencies and am respectful in my queries. I like to set clear expectations from the get-go and always keep my side of the bargain. I deliver on time, every time. Recent publishing houses I have worked with include Zondervan Academic (HarperCollins), Baker Publishing Group, Fernwood Press, and Harvest House Publishers.
"WHEW!!! Such good stuff you gave me! I just finished working through it all tonight and updated my final paper. I cannot thank you enough! I feel as though my paper is so much stronger already!"
