Overview
I provide a full line of editing services to help authors and publishers develop effective and polished writing. I have worked in book publishing for more than nineteen years. My experience includes editing fiction in various genres (including science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and literary) for both traditional publishers and self-publishers alike.
I am experienced in developing books from manuscript to finished product. This includes the various levels of editing (developmental editing, substantive/structural editing, stylistic editing, copy/line editing, and proofreading). I am familiar with longer fiction projects such as novels and short story collections, but I also work on smaller projects such as individual stories and chapters.
I am also trained in business and marketing communications and experienced in producing marketing and publicity content for the book publishing industry. This includes query letters, book proposals, synopses, and back cover copy.
I have an eye for detail while maintaining an understanding of the overall scope of each project. My wide variety of interests allows me to take on every assignment with enthusiasm and dedication.

Work experience
Self-employed
My editing services are helpful to both aspiring and seasoned writers, regardless of whether they want to self-publish or approach traditional publishers. I edit creative writing, including novels, short stories, and other works, paying close attention to the technical and artistic elements of each piece while ensuring that the individual voice of the writer is fully developed.
