Overview
I am an experienced copy editor with an eye for detail, clarity, and voice. Former copy editor and proofer for Blackstone Publishing in Ashland, Oregon. While at Blackstone, I worked directly with authors to fine-tune their novels and ensure they were ready for publication. As a proofer and copy editor in the company, I served as the last line of defense to ensure the quality of the final printed novel. Because of this experience, I have an eagle eye for detail and a vast knowledge of the Chicago Manual of Style.
I value collaboration and open communication in my freelance work. When you hire me as your editor, you will never be left in the dark about the editing process. I provide regular updates and feedback.
Additionally, I provide extensive feedback on grammar and style rules without compromising your unique voice as an author. I will always work to maintain your style while helping you perfect your next bestseller!
