Renee Jardine – Editor

I have extensive experience shaping content, both words and visuals, for print and digital products and platforms.

After getting my start in academic publishing, I camped out at an endurance sports publisher for a long time so all things running, swimming, and cycling are in my wheelhouse. I'm also well-versed in psychology and therapy topics as a foster parent with three adopted kids and a regular diet of family therapy. Finally, I've spent 20+ years volunteering with teens ... possibly my most favorite thing.

A few things to know about me up front:

I believe the author-editor relationship matters: Content shines when an editor knows the voice, intention, and big ideas that the author wants to champion and can make the subtle changes to execute on the goal accordingly.
I am detail-oriented and driven to make a great end product: This requires that we step back to see the forest for the trees and shape the reader's experience with great organization, compelling content, and clear signage along the way.
I am not a copyeditor or proofreader: There are amazing editors for these tasks. I will fix obvious errors and keep the sentence structure fresh, but I am not your find-the-needle-in-the-haystack grammar girl.
