Overview
I have been a freelance copy editor and proofreader since 2010, and I love my job! Since 2010, I have completed over 500 proofreading and/or copy editing projects. I understand how an author puts their heart and soul into their writing, and I want to assist you by getting your message out with clear, well-formed sentences.
My favorite genres are memoir, health/self-help, Christian and Bible-based books, cookbooks, and women's fiction.
Some favorite recent projects in the Christian genre are Phil Robertson's I Could Be Wrong, but I Doubt It and Sarah Jakes Roberts's Power Moves. I love to learn spiritual truths while working on a book! I am very familiar with the Bible and am well-suited for projects involving verses or biblical concepts.
Wonders All Around by Bruce McCandless III was a unique memoir. McCandless wrote of life with his father, who is the astronaut featured in the iconic photo floating untethered above our beautiful planet. I also enjoyed the true story from Heddy Frosell da Ponte, The Frosell Affair, whose father was robbed of billions by French bureaucrats during WWII. This book was memoir/historical fiction/women's fiction.
Friends with Boats is another women's fiction book I enjoyed, where the unique Cape Code setting was as delightful as the prose.
In the health/self-help field, Lee Albert's Live Pain-Free is well-reviewed on Amazon. And Nancy Sokol Green's Connection Mode was a fascinating look into the brain and behavior.
Cookbooks are a fun challenge to me, and Anne Byrn's Baking in the American South was a beautiful one to proofread.
Deadlines are important to me, and I’ve never missed one.
