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
Not only will I 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, I'll take in the big picture so I can make recommendations about clarity, linguistic flow, and any inconsistencies or repetition of content.

Novel Authors
I'll begin by making sure your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are spot on, the obvious exception being characters who aren't supposed to have perfect grammar. My affinity for detail also helps me pick up on any inconsistencies or loose ends as well 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.

Cookbook Authors
In addition to editing for grammar, spelling, clarity, tone and formatting consistency, and adherence to any style guides you're using, I'll ensure the accuracy of your cookbook's ingredient lists, pantry lists, weekly shopping lists, and recipe allergen information and verify the completeness, style, order, and logic of recipe instructions, headnotes, and tips. I can also recommend any areas of your book that might benefit from how-to illustrations.


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.
