Overview
I have worked in the publishing and editorial worlds for over five years. I have proof-read and copy-edited works for a range of prominent companies and publishers, including Simon & Schuster and Sotheby's. I am accustomed to tight deadlines and to thorough, meticulous work. In my free time, I write, and I've been writing for over ten years; in other words, writing has always been the center of my life!
I love to work on literary fiction, commercial fiction, political non-fiction, historical non-fiction, memoir, biography, poetry, and many, many more genres!
I am excited to help you refine and edit you or your client's work, making what's already great even better!
