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.

I can copy edit or proofread any kind of written work. Whether it's an article, a blog, an email, or a book, I can help! I do tend to specialize in copyediting or proofreading books, particularly sci-fi/fantasy and mysteries. I have years of editing and proofreading experience throughout my career since college and have successfully completed hundreds of projects. I'm always continuing my professional development with courses and have certificates from the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA), the Society for Editors (ACES)/Poynter, Editorial Arts Academy, Proofread Anywhere, and LinkedIn. I specialize in the Chicago Manual of Style, and I rely on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. I will proofread or edit your work so that you end up with a polished, error-free, and coherent document that accomplishes what you want it to in the most professional fashion.

Hi there! I'm Mary, a highly motivated and multi-faceted editor with strong interpersonal communication skills and the ability to drive complex projects from concept to completion—all while maintaining tight deadlines. I have a BS in Integrated Language Arts, and a certificate in editing from the University of Chicago. My expertise is in the Chicago Manual of Style; however, I am proficient in a variety of style guides. I have worked in the employee benefits field for over six years, where I did a lot of technical writing and editing for a variety of industries. Though I worked in a technical field for many years, I am more than a one-trick pony, and enjoy writing and editing for all genres. I am currently the proposal manager for a facility solutions company where I write and edit proposals for multimillion dollar design-build and energy conservation projects. I also create case studies for all of our major projects and I am the content creator for the company's social media platforms. In addition to my typical duties, I write and edit for the company's in-house magazine, which is published biannually. I am passionate about the writing and editing process, and it thrills me to deliver content that exceeds my client's expectations. I provide in-depth content editing, but will always work to preserve your voice. I understand and appreciate that your work is your brainchild and I aspire to be a partner in your creative efforts. Together we can polish your content so that it entices and connects to your audience. I look forward to developing and crafting the written word with you!

I’m a proofreader/editor who is ready to help you showcase your best work. With a keen eye for spotting errors and enhancing your words, I will deliver clean and quick work. Communication is important to me as I want to understand your work and expectations to produce high-quality work that adheres to your guidelines. I hold a BA degree in English with a concentration in writing from Regent University. This allowed me to develop my writing, editing, and proofreading skills not just for my own projects but also my peers. I completed Proofread Anywhere LLC’s General Proofreading: Theory & Practice course that required at least a 90% on the final exam to pass. Reading and writing have always been a passion of mine, and I hope to be able to continue them with you.
