Overview
I am a freelance copyeditor and proofreader with six years' experience providing high-quality services to publishers and independent authors. I am passionate about the power of language to inspire both reader and writer and love supporting authors on their journeys of bringing their stories to the world.
Being both an editor and a poet, I have developed the ability to focus on the nitty-gritty of a manuscript while also being attentive to the nuance and lyricism of the language and how an author's words will look on the page. I will work with you to build a relationship based on trust to ensure a positive and successful outcome. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to hand your work over to an editor and I pride myself on my sensitive, kind and supportive approach.
