I truly enjoy reading; I read most genres, from horror to romance to scholastic articles. If I am not sure about something, I will research until I can give you an answer.

Hello! I’m the founder of Professional Editing Co., where I work closely with PhD students and researchers on dissertations and academic manuscripts that require careful, expert attention. I have extensive experience editing both qualitative and quantitative dissertations and am deeply familiar with the structure and expectations of a traditional five-chapter dissertation. Through my work as a Dissertation Editor for the American College of Education, I developed a nuanced understanding of dissertation requirements from proposal through final submission. I am also comfortable working with non-traditional dissertation formats, including auto-ethnographies and dissertations with creative or hybrid structures. In addition to dissertation work, I provide comprehensive editing for non-fiction manuscripts intended for publication, theses, capstone projects, annotated bibliographies, research papers, and research-informed organizational reports. Across all projects, I prioritize clarity, concision, and cohesion while maintaining the author’s voice and rhythm. APA expertise is a core part of my practice. I edit and format documents to APA 7 standards, including headings, tables and figures, body text, reference pages, and in-text citations. I conduct detailed reference audits to ensure accuracy and consistency between in-text citations and reference entries, verify DOIs and hyperlinks, and confirm source details (i.e., author(s), publication date, title, and source) for completeness and correctness. I will also edit or create your table of contents, list of tables and figures, format your copyright attributions appropriately, and ensure your manuscript matches your university's template and/or guidelines (i.e., front matter, pagination, etc.). My editing style is rigorous--I identify inconsistencies, logical gaps in reasoning, ambiguity, disruptions in flow, and poorly made connections, and I helps you clarify and refine the delivery of your ideas. I've edited hundreds of dissertations—all with varying university requirements—and have consistently received feedback speaking to the intentionality and care I offer with each project. I take this work seriously and care deeply about my clients’ success. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you to bring your project across the finish line. *Please note: I do not rely on AI tools to review or revise your work.

A word nerd who loves a good story. I am an experienced copy editor and proofreader with over 100 books under my belt, including everything from fantasy and romance to self-help and memoirs. As an editor for companies such as Scribe Media, Proofed Inc., and Galatea, my job is to pay attention to the details to catch overlooked errors while ensuring a clean, publishable manuscript is always returned on time. I know how difficult it can be to catch those tiny mistakes and typos, especially when you’ve already read through your manuscript a dozen time! Let me make your life easier by taking some of the load off. On top of six years in publishing, I have an English degree with honors from Toccoa Falls College and continued education in copy editing and proofreading from Edit Republic, Knowadays, and Proofread Anywhere. I am also one half of the team at Hendrix Editing, a full-service book editing business that provides everything from developmental editing to proofreading. If we were to work together, this is how I would approach the project: 1. Verify the type of editing required (copy editing, proofreading, formatting, etc.) and discuss any specific issues that must be addressed. 2. Review the manuscript(s) and provide an estimated delivery date. 3. Edit the manuscript(s) according to CMOS in Microsoft Word using Track Changes, including two editing passes. 4. Return both a clean copy of the document and a track changes copy, highlighting the edits made to the original document. Please note that your manuscript(s) will be treated as confidential information and will not be shared with outside individuals or platforms. I am willing to sign an NDA if needed. If you’d like to discuss further how I may be able to help, please don’t hesitate to message me. When you do, tell me what your favorite color is so I'll know you've checked out my profile (mine's blue!). My full profile also includes a list of titles I've worked on, as well as examples of my past work. I look forward to creating wonderful stories with you!

I will work with you to tighten, clarify, and strengthen your content while preserving your voice and optimizing for SEO. I will also write original, on-brand content that will engage your readers. I have more than 15 years of professional experience, a bachelor's degree in journalism, and a minor in creative writing. I will approach your projects with journalistic discipline and ethics combined with fluency in creative writing techniques. For work that requires SEO optimization, I use best practices that will help your content rank well in search organically. I don't resort to cheap tactics like keyword-stuffing and content "spinning." As a journalist by nature my highest priority is top-quality, ethically created content. And that's the key to ranking well in the SERPs. What I've been writing and editing recently: • Onsite content, including long-form assets and digital PR, guest posts, and case studies. I know how to engage the reader, answer search intent, and call to action. • Web copy, optimized for SEO. • Video scripts. • Articles. • Newsletter and social media content, including LinkedIn articles. • Long-form and short-form fiction. • Copy for display advertisements. You'll be working with me directly on everything (I'm solo; not an agency). But for years, I've led a hand-picked team of subject matter experts and copywriters to create digital assets that drive traffic and rank well in search. Earlier in my career, I led an award-winning newsroom to produce weekly coverage of crime, politics, and events. Next, I was the final stamp on all external publications for the largest government agency in my state. There, I also led a small team of writers and photographers to produce a monthly internal publication. For editing work, here's my process: 1. You share your draft with me as a Google or Word doc. 2. I give it a pass for developmental edits as well as proofreading/line editing. On request, I will track my changes so you can accept or reject each one individually. I will also leave an "overall feedback" breakdown at the top of the document. 3. Once you've reviewed your new draft, I'll make any changes needed. 4. What follows (and the timeline) depends on the unique needs of your content. Links to recent projects available on request. If you have a project in mind, let's talk.
