I am a professional copywriter, editor, and proofreader with experience across a wide range of publications. I earned my BA in English Language and Literature at University College London (UCL), where I researched and wrote a dissertation on Shakespeare and the Law, learned Old English, and even prepared my own translation of Beowulf from the original! I earned my J.D. at University of Michigan Law School in 2021, where I served for three years as a senior editor on the Michigan Journal of Law Reform. After graduating law school, I clerked for a federal district judge in Nevada, where I researched and wrote legal opinions, many of which are published in the Federal Register. Most recently, I have developed my portfolio as a freelancer on UpWork editing online articles, blog posts, cover letters and other application materials, journal articles, business documents, reports, upper-level scholarship, book manuscripts, and more. I have helped aspiring authors edit and improve their works for publication, guided prospective students through college and graduate admissions, proofread corporate documents, and reviewed marketing materials. My clients' final products have gone on to be published with independent and major outlets alike, including textbooks and major academic journals. Across my experiences, I picked up a variety of editorial methods (including all major citation styles) and am happy to adapt my writing to the needs of the author. In the last year, I have taken on several weekly clients in need of AI fact-checking and editing and assisted them in ensuring their AI-generated materials are polished to perfection. Furthermore, I myself have written multiple articles and blogs using ChatGPT4 and am interested in developing my skills in the field. I care deeply about linguistic precision and want to ensure you are producing clear, succinct, and accurate works of writing for whatever the goal. I am also fluent in Spanish and have performed translation work for Spanish language clients in the immigration law context! I would love to help you develop or finalize your next written work.

You need an editor who can do more than catch typos! Hey there, I’m Lee. I’m a copy editor, proofreader, and legal writer by day, and a director and theater maker by night. Whether you need help restructuring your manuscript, punching-up your language, or polishing your final draft, I’m the perfectionist you want in your corner. Good writing requires more than just correct spelling and grammar. Clarity, style, and storytelling capture your audience’s attention and keep them reading. With my experience as both a writer and a theater maker, I bring an expert command of grammar, a strong instinct for storytelling, and an ear for what makes writing sing. I have a BA in History from Carleton College and an MFA from Northwestern University. I read my college newspaper with a red pen in hand and Tony-award-winning director Anna Shapiro once called me frighteningly attentive to detail. I started my professional writing and proofreading career at an employment law firm where proofreading is high-stakes. One wrong comma has the potential to ruin a case. I simply can’t not see the dangling participles, split infinitives, and typos. (Although I do believe in using the occasional double negative for emphasis.) On every project, I start by connecting with you to learn about your goals for your writing. For every draft, I'll provide precise and comprehensive line edits, a thorough grammar, spelling, and syntax review, as well as comments and suggestions to take your writing to the next level. I believe in paying attention to the details, responding to emails quickly, and forging strong relationships with my clients. Let’s collaborate! I can help you with: - Books and manuscripts, both fiction and non-fiction - Blog posts, articles, newsletters, and emails - Grant applications and Request for Proposal responses - Press releases - Artist statements, personal statements, application essays - Dissertations, theses, and academic papers, including citation formatting (I’m an expert at Chicago Manual of Style and proficient in MLA and APA styles.) I'm always excited to take on a new adventure. If I seem like a good fit but you don't find what you're looking for on this list, let's connect. I'd love to chat more about how I can support your project.
