Overview
I've worked in publishing for nearly twenty years, ten of them as a freelance copyeditor and proofreader. The bulk of my experience is in women's fiction and memoirs, though I also have experience with academic works and self-help. As you can see in my portfolio, the titles I've worked on range from science fiction to historical fiction to biographies–they really run the gamut!
I have a great idea for detail, and I love to work with authors to make sure their manuscript is clean and polished, ready for submission. I focus on correcting errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style, and ensuring consistency in tone and flow throughout their book.
