Overview
I'm a former academic librarian with eight years of full-time freelance copyediting experience. I've worked on materials for Penguin Random House (particularly Berkley), Melville House, and Cambridge University Press. I've also copyedited TTRPG materials for Onyx Path Publishing.
I'll make sure that every sentence you've written follows all the rules of grammar and punctuation. For example, did you know that "just deserts" has nothing to do with the sweet dish served at the end of a meal? That Merriam-Webster used to hyphenate "mindset" but doesn't any longer? That you lie down to take a nap but lay down your burden? It's OK if you don't—that's my job.
I'm looking forward to discussing your project with you!
