Overview

I'm a professional writer and editor who is passionate about helping authors hone their craft and find their voice. Others have described my editing services as thorough and educational.

I offer a wide range of services from basic copy and line editing to structural and light developmental editing. With nearly a decade of experience in the industry, I've held positions as a technical writer, independent editor, graphic designer, and more. I specialize in fantasy and paranormal works of fiction but am not limited to those areas. I have a knack for detail and can find errors that others miss. My primary goal is to polish your manuscript without changing your style or voice. Your writing is unique and should be enhanced, not written over. You call the final shots.

During my time as an independent editor, I've worked with both published and unpublished authors on manuscripts, short stories, essays, synopses, query letters, and more. My specialty is copyediting, but I have experience in content and developmental editing as well. I have been a beta reader for many friends and clients. I have also worked on a few design projects, including logos, newsletters, and magazines. I am well versed in XHTML and CSS coding, Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and the MS Office suite. I own software for the Adobe Creative Suite and have the latest version of MS Word.

I worked as a technical writer and data analyst for Teleflex, a medical supply company. My duties included editing company documents, recording meeting minutes, analyzing data and creating charts from them, managing projects, writing software tutorials, and handling Engineering Change Orders, or ECOs. I quit my position to be a stay-at-home mom and to pursue work as an independent editor.
