Overview

I have an M.A. in Literature and Creative Writing (fiction) and a second M.A. in Literature and Publishing, along with several years working in editorial roles. I have experience working on literary pieces, academic and scholarly works, technical content, grants and a variety of other types of writing. Being a writer myself I have a respect for the craft and work to ensure the author's voice and purpose shine through. As your editor I will take the time to understand the project and your goals, then help you shape your message so it comes through clearly and strongly.The following are examples of the services I offer, but this list is not comprehensive and I would love to talk with you about your project whether or not it fits this list! Please note that much of the literary work I have done is for literary journals that do not necessarily have Amazon pages, so they are not represented in my portfolio below.- Copyediting- Line editing- Manuscript preparation- Technical writing- Copywriting- Content development- Ghostwriting
