I'm a Jill of all trades in the literary world, with years of experience both writing and editing at the literary agency where I work. I'd love to talk with you about editing your novel. Read the testimonials below and peruse the selected published works in my portfolio. Clients have found me to be a good communicator and responsible with deadlines. Others have said I have a sharp eye, and a kind yet blunt critique style. I assure you, I want your project to be the best it can be, and I'll instinctively know the work that needs to be done to get it there. I'm ready to embrace your project as my own, so let's get to work! ***Kindly read this clarification before sending an invite: I don't edit works created either partially or in full by AI, and I do not participate in ghostwriting circles. Also, I don't write query letters, rather, I critique and improve letters that are already written by a book's author. Thanks so much!*** I Prefer: - Fixed price to hourly - Clear expectations - Kindness, always. No matter what needs to be said. - Working on either first 3 chapters (up to 8,000 words), first half (up to 40,000 words), or whole manuscripts (up to 90,000 words). You will get: - Structural/Developmental edits; these are big picture edits. (Random examples: This could be better in a different spot, maybe paragraph 4 of chapter 5 where you introduce this topic. Have you thought about making Mary older to fit her independent lifestyle? Why is Stephan so worried about the cleanliness of the apartment, if in chapter one you said he hired a cleaning lady? I'm wondering if chapter seven can be tightened and merged with six, because it's lagging and I worry readers will lose interest) - Line edits; these occur when a certain line/word is throwing off the story. (Random examples: This sentence is clunky because the subject of the sentence comes after all those other objects and adjectives. Your use of the word Coptic may not be correct since technically these worshipers would be Russian orthodox. Double-check the accuracy of your claim that black widow spiders can kill. Consider editing out the word "felt" from this whole chapter because it weakens the text.) - Grammar/Punct correction; This is like proofreading, but it's best to perform a separate final proofread once you're completely done with all edits. (Examples: spelling of words, word usage, grammar correction, punctuation correction) Can't wait to talk to you about your needs!

From my very first job as a junior cover designer at HarperCollins to writing more than three hundred research-based educational articles for EBSCO and assisting with developing streamlined and consistent content for the Center for Creative Leadership, I have proven myself as a communications specialist. As an illustration major at Moore College of Art and Design, I fancied a long career as a children’s book illustrator. That plan quickly faded as I took up graphic design in NYC and soon moved on to accept a position as an art director for trade book covers in Massachusetts. Since those early days, I have had my hand in nearly every facet of publishing, including production, editorial, design, copy editing, accuracy checking, writing, and proofreading. While I still handle a certain amount of graphic design, most of my work life is focused on proofreading. I've enjoyed more than ten years of working for such publishers as Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Wylie Agency, Harvard Common Press, Jones & Bartlett, Greenleaf Book Group, and the Center for Creative Leadership. Among my many projects, I had the privilege of working on several Best American series including Comics, Food Writing, and Sports Writing. I've also enjoyed working on several Peterson Field Guides, including Birds of the American Northwest and Bird Nests of North America. I work equally on fiction and nonfiction and I've proofread such authors as Robert Stone, Samin Nosrat, Tim Ferriss, Philip K. Dick, Oliver Potzsch, Anya Seton, Salman Rushdie, and literally hundreds of others. I am currently available for freelance or contract work and will consider long-term remote positions. If you are looking for someone who is easy to work with, creative, attentive to detail, and experienced, you've found her!
