Overview
Hello. I'm so glad you've stopped by to peruse my profile! Allow me to give you a brief overview of what I can do for you:
Nonfiction Authors
Together we'll ensure that all your ideas are fully fleshed out and well organized with your audience in mind. I'd also love to discuss any particular concerns you may have about your work. I'll take in the big picture so I can make recommendations about clarity, voice, linguistic flow, and any inconsistencies or repetition of content. Then I'll dive into the details to ensure correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation as well as consistent formatting and adherence to the style guide of your choice.
Novel Authors
My affinity for detail helps me pick up on any big-picture issues, such as weak structure, inconsistencies, or loose ends, as well as the more minute details, such as superfluous descriptions that need tightening up. I can make suggestions for further developing characters, clarifying scenes, bringing settings to life, and balancing description with dialogue. I can also provide feedback on the themes I see emerging in your work. Finally, I can ensure that your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are spot on.
In addition to my editing work, I've also written real estate investing content as a freelance writer for The Motley Fool. I feel that sitting on both sides of the writing table has given me a broader perspective on the craft and a greater depth that I bring to my work with my clients. I hope you'll reach out so we can work together to make sure the project you've worked so hard on is the very best it can be.
