Jun, 2017 — Present

I'm an experienced copyeditor and proofreader, specializing in all subgenres of romance novellas and novels, from sweet to steamy. I work with a large publisher of romance and cozy mysteries, and I also enjoy working one-to-one with indie authors. I use the Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster to answer all questions of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and correct word usage. I check all facts and have a sharp eye for details, including character names, locations, and descriptions.
