Overview
Hello, I’m a freelance editor and writer. I work with authors to create sparkling content for journal articles, blogs, short or long non-fiction and fiction. With advanced training in developmental editing, I gently coach authors to create their best possible work.
My sensitivity to style and meaning also makes me a fine copy editor for manuscripts that need detailed correction and finish.
I am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association.
