Overview
As a copy editor and writing consultant, I work with clients at any stage of the writing process: from initial drafts and revisions to proofreading and final polishing. I know good writing, and I know how to help writers adapt their content to their situations, media, and target audiences. I bring a sharp ear for language and even sharper eye for detail to our work together.
I've done a lot of editing work as an educated nonspecialist for various subjects: religious history, business motivation, Middle English poetry, salsa in 1970s' New York, and representations of Islam. As an objective reader, I help clients ensure that their message, content, and structure are clear to a wide audience.
