Overview
I've worked in publishing for the past ten years, both for traditional presses and self-publishing authors. I have experience taking first-time authors through the editing process, though my primary areas of expertise are copy and stylistic editing. I've worked on many books for the academic market, but I also have edited memoirs, fiction, self-help books, and career guides. My experience is diverse and wide-ranging, and I am ready to help you finish honing your manuscript!
