Overview
I have 10+ years’ experience in proofreading and copyediting, and 16 years in Quality Assurance. I am familiar with manuscripts, printers’ proofs, digital content, and hard-copy markups. I love the back and forth of revision! For the last 6 years I have been a freelance proofreader for a ghost-writing company and for some aspiring novelists (fantasy and romance). My favorite genre novels to proof are romance and fantasy (and when you combine them for paranormal romance...swoon).
Drop me a line and let's talk about where you're at in your process and how we can make your words shine. First, we'll talk about what type of proofreading or editing you think you might need. Then, we can discuss the size of your project and how long it will take me to finish. While I've got your project, we can check in at regular intervals (determined by the scope of your project) to clear up any questions. When I'm finished, I will send you back the annotated project. If you would like more than one round of proofreading or copyediting, we can set that up in the initial contract or add it on later.
I look forward to working with you!

As part of client project teams, I proofread and copyedited PowerPoint decks, project management documents, guide books, legal notices, newsletters, graphics, interactive media, and all other elements of the campaign. I have excellent working knowledge of the revision process from first draft to printers’ proofs. As the resident Word Nerd, I also proofread internal communications for colleagues and client billing information for anyone who asked.
