Overview
My publishing career includes three years as a proofreader at Macmillan, Fodor’s, and Simon and Schuster; two years as a graduate teaching assistant/substitute undergraduate lecturer in the Humanities at the University of Texas at Dallas; and more than a decade providing freelance book reviews and editorial synopses to Foreword, Independent Publisher, and other art platforms and individual aspiring writers.
My attitude is generous and supportive. I advance your writing goals with actionable feedback provided in writing or, on request, through Zoom sessions. My services include:
· Editorial Assessment: 1000—1500-word analysis of your work with detailed manuscript commentary and recommendations for going forward.
· Developmental Editing: Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation, Word Choice, Syntax, Pacing, Tone, Point of View, Characterization, Dialogue, and Structure
· Copyediting: Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation, Word Choice, Syntax
· Multiple rounds available on agreement
Every book tells a story. Find yours!
My novel, The Berserkers, is available from Hawkwood Books.
