Overview
I am an accomplished, detail-oriented, and fast-learning editor with 14+ years of practical experience. Proven excellence in developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, book production, and writing. I have experience with editing multiple subject areas, including woodworking, DIY, crafts, cooking, lifestyle, education, and medicine. Over my career, I've contributed my editorial eye to more than 100 titles. I also know the process of book making from beginning to end.
Whether you're looking for someone to help you flesh out an outline, jump into the nitty-gritty of a rough draft, or polish a near-final draft with a proofread, I can help. I'm well versed in editing without losing an author's voice, and can be as relaxed or nitpicky as you like. You can expect detailed notes from me, whether you prefer Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat PDF, or Adobe InDesign. Other than the standard markup for spelling, punctuation, and grammar, I also enjoy providing feedback on the flow of the piece to improve readability, and I will point out areas that I think would benefit from more information. By the end of the edit, you will have actionable feedback to get your writing ready to print--and hopefully some advice that will improve your future writing as well.
