English professor and former writing program director, now a freelance writer, editor, and rhetorical consultant in professional communication. I work with publishing academics in a variety of disciplines: from the humanities and both the social and natural sciences (e.g., philosophy, literature, archaeology, art history, engineering, and political science, to name a few). I also frequently consult with graduate and professional students as they prepare their dissertations and theses for defense and graduate school submission. I offer a full range of dissertation coaching services, from developmental feedback to final polishing and line editing. As an editor, in recent months, I’ve worked with several new Ph.D.s as they entered the academic job market and crafted curriculum vitae/résumés and application letters matching their own expertise with the needs of the schools advertising open faculty positions.

For 32 years, I worked in educational and academic publishing, first as a content editor for Harcourt Brace and Holt, Rinehart and Winston and then as Vice President and Director of Humanities for McGraw-Hill Education. In that role, I oversaw publication of all humanities projects and ensured that MHE rose to become the leading humanities publisher. • In 2014, I left MHE to return to my first love--hands-on editing. • I have worked for a variety of clients, including MHE, Contentra Technologies, The Today Foundation, and MDPI, an open-access publisher of international academic, scientific, and professional journals. • I am equally comfortable with developmental editing, line editing, and copy editing and have a great love of and respect for the English language. • I hold a B.A., cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Washington and Lee University, with a double major in history and communications and an M.S. in Education, summa cum laude, with an emphasis on instructional design, from Northern Illinois University. • Having so much editorial experience, I am naturally experienced with CMS, ACS, MLA, AMA, and APA styles. While I do not have the latest iteration of each memorized, I know where to look to find the answers quickly. • I have worked in a variety of CMSs, including Habitat, InCopy, InDesign, and LaTex. • I believe that active communication is key when undertaking a project. Keeping all stakeholders informed effectively deals with small issues before they become major ones and streamlines product development.

My job is not to tell your story for you. You've already done the hard part of sitting in front of a blank document and turning it into a completed draft. My job is to now come alongside you and help you convey your message in the best possible manner-- grammatically, logically, and fluently. Whether you have researched and written a new contribution to the academic world, or you have created a new world through storytelling, I can help you smooth out the edges and make sure your work is ready for submission. I have spent years studying literature and writing countless research papers to earn my master's degree in English. I have also taught undergraduate composition classes, guiding students through the process of researching and writing a well-crafted essay. I have edited newspaper articles, websites, blogs, and both undergraduate and graduate level academic papers. Now my goal is to use my education and experience to help YOU. From properly citing sources in MLA or APA formatting to ensuring a character with blue eyes on page 7 doesn't suddenly have green eyes on page 123, I am here to help you take your writing to the next level, so you can be confident that you are submitting a work that is well-articulated, well-organized, and error-free.

Consider, if you will: 1 of th most impotant wways to be taken srrusly in, copy is, to usee correct grammr and spell gud. If that sentence on a proofreader's profile made you want to run to the grammar police in terror, then it demonstrates exactly why it is so important for your grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation to be stellar when you want to be taken seriously. If you are writing English as a second language, you may just need that extra pair of eyes to help make sure the phrasing of your profile or thumbnail looks natural and professional. What I bring is piece of mind. With an MLIS from Kent State and a lifelong passion for the written word, you're in expert hands. I have written and researched academic papers, short stories, speeches, and recently edited a book soon to be published by Forbes Books. I will comb your prose for errors, suggest edits, confirm bibliographies, and even fact check something you may be wanting a second opinion on. It's all up to you, and I will work with you to make that as painless and speedy an experience as possible. So let's get together and create some beautiful copy that you can be proud to present to coworkers, clients, or readers.
