I provide editing services from proofreading, copy editing, and line editing to developmental editing and indexing of academic, nonfiction, financial, tax, and legal projects. I also record for Radio Talking Books and record audiobooks for Audible and Librivox. Since 2020 I have edited more than a dozen nonfiction books, three book-length dissertations, more than 50 academic journal articles, numerous master’s theses and other shorter works, and several white papers. As a retired attorney, judge, and business school professor, I've applied my expertise to subjects ranging from an analysis of the UK's system of dual-class shares, to whether the legal definition of genocide should encompass political grounds, to the environmental aspects of fast fashion, and everything in between. I recently edited and indexed a book on the unique problems of employing those with criminal histories, which was published in 2024 by Springer Nature. I have also edited nearly a dozen travel and how-to books for CZYK Publishing, an independent publisher in the United States. I have extensive experience, and particular expertise, in working with clients for whom English is a second (or third) language. I edit in MS Word and return for each project a redline with my suggested edits and explanatory comments and, when appropriate, a clean copy ready for use. I have also edited in Google Docs and in Adobe. I have certificates in editing from the University of Washington and from the University of Chicago, a doctorate in accounting/business/economics from the University of Minnesota, and a law degree from the University of Michigan. I would love to speak with you about how I can help you make your writing clear, concise, and compelling. As a first step, let's schedule an interview to discuss your project!

I have a strong ability to craft stories, a drive to learn continuously, and a genuine kindness. See more at brendonhertz.com. My experience as a writer and editor is bookended by what I’ve learned over a half decade as a public high school English teacher and nearly four years spent as a contractor for Microsoft and Meta. In between, I spent some time working for a Seattle-based charcuterie company. There, I gained insight into what it takes to build a successful small business while pursuing further education and experience in my field. At Microsoft, I joined the Microsoft Research Digital Engagement team as a content writer and eventually became lead editor. When I joined the team, I was one of two writers that helped to develop a style guide for the organization, write digital content with a focus on helping researchers craft blog posts, and develop a consistent voice for the brand across social media and other external content channels. As the success of the team lead to its growth, I had the opportunity to craft and shape written content for webinars, virtual events, short-form and long-form videos, keynote speeches, and other highly technical content. I also produced podcast episodes. Along the way, I was lucky to work with some of the world’s leading technology researchers and help to inform content for executives at the highest levels of the company. As lead editor, I managed a storytelling calendar and helped to facilitate content creation with a team of writers, graphic designers, an audio/video production crew, and a podcasting agency. In July of 2022, I joined Meta Open Source to build and refine its storytelling engine. In my six months there, I made immediate impact by honing blog posts, social media, videos, and other promotional content while implementing new processes to make the editorial process more robust. My time at Meta taught me how to adapt my versatile skillset to a new organization and work environment. Some of my favorite topics include AI, future of work, quantum computing, and privacy and security.

With extensive experience in clinical leadership, curriculum development, and integrative health, my work has been shaped by a commitment to whole-person care, evidence-based practices, and innovative education. Each initiative is approached with the clarity and purpose necessary to improve patient outcomes, empower learners, and support long-term wellness. Years of serving as a medical director and board-certified physician—combined with the development of national-level examination standards and health coaching programs—have fostered a precise yet holistic approach to problem-solving. This experience enables confident decision-making in complex healthcare environments, balancing strategic vision with compassionate care.

Your project will benefit from deep clinical expertise, thoughtful communication, and a mission-driven mindset developed across decades of work at the intersection of medicine, education, and holistic health. ============ Presentations ============ With a background in medical leadership, education, and integrative wellness, presentation design becomes more than a visual task—it becomes a form of purposeful communication. Whether crafting a training module for health professionals, an investor presentation for a wellness initiative, or a keynote deck for a national conference, each slide is designed to deliver clarity, credibility, and connection. The focus is on communicating complex ideas with simplicity and impact—always aligned with the goals of your audience. Drawing on years of experience developing curriculum, guiding health programs, and presenting clinical and wellness concepts to diverse groups, I build presentations that flow logically and look polished. Visuals are clean and professional, charts are styled to reflect your branding and message, and animations are used thoughtfully to enhance—not distract. Every design choice—from color palette to typography—is selected with care, reinforcing both understanding and engagement. Final decks are delivered fully editable and ready for immediate use, with options for speaker notes, handouts, or print-ready versions. Whether you're starting from a rough outline or refining an existing presentation, the result is a cohesive, high-quality asset that supports your mission, reflects your professionalism, and leaves a lasting impression. ================== Proofreading & Editing ================== With a trained eye for detail and a deep understanding of language, tone, and clarity, I offer proofreading and editing services that elevate your writing with precision and purpose. From business documents and academic work to creative pieces and digital content, each project is refined to reflect your voice while achieving the specific goals of your message. My editing process combines technical accuracy with thoughtful revision, ensuring your text is polished, consistent, and free of errors. Whether working with a first draft or a nearly-final version, the focus is always on enhancing readability, strengthening structure, and preserving your intent. Final deliverables are tailored to your audience and usage—optimized for publication, web content, or client presentation. You’ll benefit from a reliable process, prompt communication, and an editor who values the integrity of your message. Whether you're preparing a report, launching a blog, or submitting a manuscript, your words will be presented clearly, confidently, and with lasting impact. Let’s take your project to the next level together.
