I have worked on a wide range of projects, including university, college, and school textbooks and ancillaries; medical and science books and journals; digital products; technical and financial products; SEO web pages; blog posts; and nonfiction and fiction books. Many of these projects involved stylistic and substantive edits, proofreading, multiple authors and reviewers, complicated art programs, and comprehensive design and formatting elements.
I have vast experience with multiple style guides, creating extensive editorial style sheets, employing editorial/design/composition codes and proofreading mark-up, and implementing SEO best practices.
Exemplary editing and proofreading skills are my passion.
Asking questions is intrinsic to me.
I am extremely meticulous in my work; my attention to detail is paramount. I am reliable, meeting all my deadlines on target.
My heart sings as I work alongside my authors to bring their voice and vision to each page.
