Overview
I am a consistent, detail-oriented, and intuitive editor. As an editing instructor and freelance editor, I enjoy working with words and people to tease out an author’s best writing. A flexible and award-winning author, I am also accustomed to a writer’s sensitivities and concerns. I am a thorough—yet tactful editor—and understand the push-me/pull-me elements of the editorial relationship.
