Overview

I am an independent content editor offering an integrated range of services, from content and structural development, to line and copyediting, to analytical research and fact-checking, to proofreading. With over a decade of experience, I have edited a wide range of material for a variety of leading book publishers, scholarly journals, media outlets, businesses, websites, and independent authors.

Concentrating in cultural and political studies, literary and media theory, economics and business, and general nonfiction, some of my recent book and journal projects include God & Mammon: Chronicles of American Money, by Lance Morrow (Encounter, 2020); Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging, by Jodi Dean (Verso, 2019); The Dubious Morality of Modern Administrative Law, by Richard Epstein (Rowman & Littlefield, 2020); and the Ethics & International Affairs journal (Cambridge University Press, all issues 2019–2020).

I welcome you to contact me if you’d like to receive a free editing sample on an excerpt from your book, a price quote, and/or an assessment of the type of work that is needed.
