Overview
For over 30 years, I've worked in both the book and magazine industries as an editor, copy editor, proofreader, and writer, working closely with authors to take their work to the finish line. As an editor, I've worked with new writers to help guide them through the publishing process, from pitch to press. With veteran big-named authors, I offer the editorial support they need. I see editing as a silent partnership, helping writers realize their vision and their fullest potential before their work goes to press. As a writer, I empathize with how terrifying it is to bequeath writing to an editor. Whether I'm editing or copy editing, I listen carefully to writers' concerns as I work with them, careful never to impose my ideas or undermine a writer's confidence or final vision for their project. I make myself available to talk through ideas and even brainstorm, answer questions and explain my suggestions. I am like quality control for your writing projects to get them ready for publication.
