Self-employed

Jul, 2014 — Present

I am a meticulous and detail-oriented copyeditor, proofreader, and project editor specializing in educational publishing. I edit across a variety of subject areas and can easily adapt my editing to meet the requirements of a particular discipline, title, or author. I am well-versed in MLA, APA, AP, and Chicago styles. In 2015 I managed the production of the Norton Reader, 14th edition, and the Little Norton Reader from manuscript through final files. I also copyedited the reader's companion quiz materials. I enjoy editing digital content and was pleased to copyedit and proofread learning resources for McGraw-Hill's best-selling digital quizzing tool, Connect Composition Essentials 3.0.
