Overview
My background encompasses a mix of many roles, all centered around editorial expertise. I have served as a writing coach, a resume writer, a fiction and nonfiction editor, an acquisitions editor, and a freelance development editor, a copyeditor, and a proofreader. Unlike many other editors, my work history includes all ranges of professional settings; I have worked in academic environments, independent presses, hybrid/self-publishers, small businesses, and large corporate publishing houses. This eclectic perspective has left me comfortable with a wide range of projects and writers.
My clients include some of the most brilliant and prestigious individuals, and I take great pride in inspiring each of them to build a vision into a reality. I adapt to each project and individual on a case-by-case basis, dedicating my energy to polished, high-quality work. I am very passionate and serious about my work, so I go to great lengths to keep up with the needs of today. The editorial process is a journey, and I very much look forward to each one.
