Overview
I specialize in developmental, line, and copy editing as well as proofing. References available upon request. 3-5 page sample edit available upon request. I do tend to get a lot of requests and book up fast, so just be aware. I love working with authors though. But before I make an offer, I will ask to see at least 30 pages of your manuscript. I am very selective because I want to work with the best.
NOTE: Now booking late July and August 2025. First come, first serve. Thanks. I book in advance because I get tons if requests. And I want to work with professionals who leave adequate time to make sure their book is the best it can be.
