Overview
For more than a decade, I have worked in the book publishing industry, guiding debut and bestselling authors through copyedits and proofreads.
My work as a copyeditor and proofreader in fiction has included historical romance and psychological thrillers. In nonfiction, I specialize in travel, art/design, and pop culture.
As an in-house production editor, I verified that copyedits, proofreads, and cold reads for books by NYT, WSJ, and Amazon Charts bestselling authors were of the highest quality and expertly led authors through their manuscript reviews to seamless publications—an experience I’m eager to offer you as well.
