Overview
I'm a copy editor and proofreader with more than 15 years' experience and a diverse client list that includes St. Martin's, Penguin Random House, Regan Arts, John Wiley & Sons, and Page Street Publishing. Whether it's a novel or a cookbook, I love polishing a manuscript until it shines. I excel at eagle-eyed proofreading, concise edits, and kindly worded suggestions for tweaks to bring out the best in each author's work. Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss your project.
