Self-employed

Mar, 2011 — Present

I have worked as a freelance editor for seven years. In that time, I have assisted bestselling authors in a variety of genres to make their manuscripts shine through improved character and plot development, in addition to spelling and grammar corrections. I specialize in the Chicago Manual of Style, but also know the APA style guide.
During the past seven years, I have worked with NineStar Press, Totally Entwined Publishing, and Bravo Content Management (as an online content creator and editor).
