Hire the Best Technical Editors in Virginia

With extensive experience in publishing, I now am focusing on editing and proofreading, particularly where I am able to help the author/writer improve a document to achieve its goal. I have extensive experience, primarily with non-fiction (including technical, theses and dissertations, and how-tos) and books published by McGraw-Hill, Elsevier, Palgrave-Macmillan, and Cambridge University Press. My own published works include a book in the "Dummies" series, a weekly column in The New York Times, a plethora of articles, a reference CD-ROM, training courses for major financial institutions, and technical manuals. I have a Six Sigma Green Belt, Green Belt with DFSS, and Public Relations Society of America accreditation.

I help cybersecurity and AI teams turn complex concepts into crystal‑clear documentation, training, and policies that people actually follow. I've combined seventeen years of editing experience with six years of cybersecurity experience to offer a unique skillset to my clients. If you need security awareness content, AI product docs, or responsible‑AI guidance that’s accurate and readable, I would love to chat. With hundreds of clients and 5-star reviews, you can be certain I will give your work the utmost attention. Typical projects I handle: 1) Turning your security policies into employee‑friendly handbooks, onboarding content, and e‑learning scripts. 2) Writing or overhauling product documentation for AI or security tools (setup guides, API references, FAQs). 3) Designing security awareness campaigns (topic roadmap, copy, and assets outline). 4) Drafting responsible‑AI or data‑usage guidelines in language non‑technical staff can understand. 5) Editing and polishing technical blog posts, white papers, and reports so they’re publication‑ready. I don’t just write—I improve structure, clarity, and consistency so your content reflects well on your team. I can follow code examples, understand high‑level architectures, and speak with your engineers without losing the plot. And because I am a certified AI Generalist who is always actively learning cybersecurity and AI, I understand common threats, risk tradeoffs, AI limitations, and several AI tools.

I am native English-speaking, with a bachelor’s degree in English. I have been editing for 14 years. My editing skills include working for three e-book publishing companies, a monthly magazine, and individual authors. Throughout my career, I have edited fiction, nonfiction, magazine articles, and dissertation papers, including romance, inspirational romance, mysteries, and science fiction. In my role at the e-book publishing companies, I was a content editor, copy editor, and proofreader. This entailed reading through a story several times to produce an error-free document. I have a fast turn-around time, and I have the knowledge and skills to offer feedback on your project, fix grammatical errors, plot holes, whatever is needed to make your project shine. I look forward to working with you.
