    I offer proofreading and copy editing services for fiction, nonfiction, blog posts, articles, emails, and anything else you have written! I have three years of experience and a Certificate in Editing from the American Copy Editors Society. For each client, I take an individual approach and tailor my edit to meet your needs. My strength lies in my hawkish eye for grammar, strong attention to detail, and the fact that I genuinely care about every author’s unique work. Communication is key, and I will spend the time it takes to understand your goals for the project. It’s important to me to respect and strengthen your voice and style while adding thoughtful, sensitive suggestions and identifying distracting errors. I prefer to base my editing fee by the word (see services and rates below). However, we can negotiate an hourly fee if that is more convenient for you. I typically edit in Microsoft Word, using Tracked Changes so you can easily see the edits and accept or reject them as you choose. Proofreading - • I do a detailed proofread focused purely on spelling, grammar, punctuation, word use/missing words, and formatting. • In a proofread, I give your work its final, word-perfect polish so that it is ready for your readers, eliminating all technical errors without making suggestions related to style, sentence structure, or flow. Copy editing - • A copy edit is more in depth than a proofread; I do a close read of your work to address wordiness, unintentional shifts in verb tense or tone, plot inconsistencies, and fact-checking. • I ensure the language is polished, clear, and consistent, and I make respectful, thoughtful comments to suggest small improvements. • Includes two passes: one initial pass to track all edits (which are then sent to you for review), and a second, final pass to incorporate all feedback and confirm that even the smallest errors are caught and corrected. • Includes creating a stylesheet, if desired, at no extra cost.

    **Flexible fee schedule based on scope of work** I am a fiction editor based in Silicon Valley, California. My background in engineering and project management combine with my passion for science fiction and fantasy to bring a unique editing perspective that you won’t find anywhere else! My primary editing focus is on manuscript evaluations and developmental editing. My engineering mindset means I love a good puzzle and am not afraid of a challenge. Project management experience has given me knowledge of systems and thinking about big picture questions holistically, which naturally lends itself to developmental editing.
