Hire the Best Editors in Oregon

For the last decade, I've provided editorial support and coaching to authors, publications, and businesses for nonfiction and fiction books, news, essays, manuals, and newsletters. My editorial portfolio includes over 60 books and 350 articles. While I work directly with authors, my contracts include the Department of State and Indigo River Publishing, a distributor of Simon & Schuster.​​​ I offer a complimentary 15-minute Zoom (before beginning a contract) if your project seems like a good fit. I have a particular hankering for line edits, but I enjoy every stage of the editorial process, from coaching and developmental work to the final proofreading. I am not interested in editing AI writing. If you have generated your content through an LLM and have not taken the time to "humanize" it into your voice, please find a different editor. The majority of my experience lies in nonfiction—a well-written memoir is my bread and butter; historical fiction takes a close second. I hold a master's in 'Journalism and Media Innovation' from Emerson College and a bachelor's from UC Berkeley in 'Health, Technology, and Modernity.' I have the Poynter: ACES Intermediate Certificate in Editing and am a member of several professional associations, including ACES: Society of Editors, The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists, and Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE). Please visit the portfolio section of my profile below and peruse my website to learn more about me, my background, and see what others have to say about my work.

You receive a written strategy report with clear options, priorities, and realistic outcomes. Phase II: Drafting and compliance build I write or rewrite content in a neutral, encyclopedic tone and structure it properly (sections, citations, formatting, internal linking, and consistency checks). This is where most of the heavy lifting happens. Phase III: Revisions and publication support We do revision rounds based on your feedback, then I manage the safest publication workflow for your situation. I also handle the back-and-forth that usually comes with review and stability steps. Phase IV: Post-publication monitoring and defense After publication or updates, I monitor changes and defend compliant edits against reversions, vandalism, and misunderstandings. Longer coverage is available if you want ongoing protection. TO START: Send me the project name, your official website for verification, and any relevant source material you already have. I’ll respond with a clear recommended plan and next steps.

Clear, confident writing doesn’t happen by accident—it happens when ideas are shaped by an experienced editor who understands both language and purpose. I am a PhD-trained writer and editor with decades of experience helping clients communicate with clarity, authority, and style. Of course, your work will be error-free—but more importantly, it will read smoothly, make sense immediately, and achieve its intended effect. I work with a wide range of content, including: • Academic dissertations and theses • Scholarly and professional articles • Novels and memiors • Business reports and white papers • Marketing and advertising copy Clients come to me not just to “fix” their writing, but to make it clearer, more persuasive, and more professional—without losing their voice. I’ve been on Upwork since its inception and have successfully completed more than 400 projects across disciplines and styles. I’m known for being careful, responsive, and easy to work with—and for delivering writing that is finished, polished, and confident. If you want your writing to be not only correct, but effective and refined, I can help. All work is fully guaranteed.

I am a video editor from Portland, OR, with over 15 years of experience producing quality content for local, national, and global brands and not-for-profit organizations. Video production is my passion, and I approach each project with the objective of creating the strongest possible piece that both engages audiences and exceeds client expectations. I’m very comfortable either translating an existing vision into a compelling edited video, or approaching a project as a blank canvas and taking the lead on crafting the narrative from scratch. I am a clear communicator who works efficiently and always meets project timelines. I work in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects and have access to quality music and stock video libraries to boost the production value of any project.
