Overview
As a copyeditor with 10+ years' professional experience, editing anything from Native language dictionaries to baseball statistic reference manuals to modern African poetry collections to epic YA fantasy tomes, I can help your piece become what it needs to for your audience. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and have been copyediting for my whole life, even before then, much to the chagrin of my family and friends.
I specialize in Chicago Manual of Style and have worked my way front and back through the "orange Bible" as a true CMS devotee. I am proficient in editing in Microsoft Word with track changes as well as in Adobe Acrobat, and before everything went digital I was editing on giant paper manuscripts using a striking red pen and those funny symbols!
I've had my fair share of diverse authors, from those around my block to halfway across the globe, from those whose first language isn't English to those who have my same degree in English. I've edited for small university presses and self-publishing authors on Amazon, so between all of those, chances are I've worked with an author in your exact situation!
If your piece needs an extra polish, or serious revision, I'm game for whatever it takes to make it stand out and as perfect as can be.
