Overview
"An author's dream when it comes to the editorial process." – New York Times #1 bestselling author Joseph Michelli
I'm a book editor with almost a decade of in-house experience in non-fiction publishing. I provide proofreading, copy editing, structural/developmental editing and indexing services. My background is in business, travel and education publishing, but I am interested in projects across non-fiction – my interests are broad, and I'm always keen to learn new things.
Showing your writing to an editor can be daunting; that's why I pride myself on my patient and collaborative approach. I'm ready to help you communicate your message as clearly and concisely as possible while preserving your unique voice.
(Please note that Lonely Planet books are updated regularly with new editions, so the versions displayed in my portfolio may be newer than the editions I worked on.)
