    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 am a freelance blogger with 5 years of experience, but I've been writing in some form or another for most of my life. In college, one of my essays won the Foothills Writers Guild Award for freshmen. As a creative writer and theatre reviewer, I know how important it is to grab the reader's attention from the start and hold it. I've also learned how to research deeply so I can write beyond my experience in an informed way. I specialize in writing across a number specific niches including but not limited to: law, construction, tech, education, mental health, and more. The fields in which my clients work are often full of technical terminology and industry specifics. I write blogs, articles, and web copy about their work with exciting language that both informs and engages their customers; and the research I perform for each piece ensures that it is knowledgeable enough to hold up to the scrutiny of their peers. I am well-versed in SEO, as well as hosting platforms such as Wordpress, Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify.
