Overview
I edit fiction and non-fiction books. They include thrillers, adventure, romance, science fiction and fact, memoirs, and history. The books I've edited have been getting great reviews. I also edit for ESL (English as a second language) authors and writers. I work with publishers, independents, and self-published authors, offering proofreading, copy editing, and substantive editing to help with structure. I have experience as an author, ghostwriter, copywriter, and website content manager.
