★ Your friendly coach and certified grammar nut to help get your manuscript over the finish line ★ Sample edit to ensure we're a fit ★ Zoom "get to know each other" call or message chat ★ 5+ years' experience + ACES Certificate in Editing ★ No genAI—ever I offer proofreading and copy editing services for fiction, nonfiction, blogs, articles, emails, and anything else you have written! I believe a great editor is part cheerleader, part guide, part grammar nut. I’m here to encourage you, make suggestions to help strengthen your writing (when you want that!), and help you cross the finish line with confidence—and a word-perfect manuscript. I have more than five years of experience and a Certificate in Editing from the American Copy Editors Society. I know how much trust it takes to hand your writing to someone else, and I don’t take that lightly. Communication is a big deal to me, so I take the time to understand your story, vision, and goals and make sure we’re on the same page. ❏ Proofreading • I do a detailed proofread focused purely on spelling, grammar, punctuation, word use/missing words, and formatting. • 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. I never use genAI in my editing work, guaranteed. I love what I do, so why would I let AI have all the fun?

Are you preparing an academic book, dissertation, or journal article for publication and are concerned about clarity, structure, or reviewer feedback? Are you publishing an academic book and the press has asked you to make the index in short time and using specific methods (such as MS Word's feature and para-IDs)? I help researchers, academics, and doctoral students present their work clearly and persuasively, so that it stands up to peer review and minimizes avoidable revisions. I also specialize in making detailed indices for academic books. I specialize in: - Copyediting academic books and journal articles (improving clarity, flow, and structure) - Ensuring accurate referencing and formatting in line with established citation styles - Preparing professional indexes for academic books My work has contributed to publications with leading academic presses, including Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Stanford University Press, Syracuse University Press, Brill, and Routledge.

Welcome! I appreciate you stopping by to learn a little about who I am and what I can do for you. Editing is my calling, and I have invested myself into providing you with the best value so that everyone wins in the end. I understand that writing and publishing is a long process, so I'm here to make it a little easier. My goal is to set you on your way with content that you are proud to publish. Writing is a messy process, so my job as your copyeditor/proofreader is to help you clean that mess up and present your message to the world with confidence. If that book you’re writing is the culmination of years of work, you’re going to want to make sure it says exactly what you want it to say—no chances for miscommunication or embarrassing typos. If you write a company newsletter, let’s work together to be sure that your drive and vision for your company comes through clearly in the columns you and other contributors write. I’m not picky about the medium you use for your content—book, short ebook feature, newsletter, blog series, and anything else between—I work with whatever you bring me. I AM picky about my work, though, so you can be sure that I will give you my best. My highest goal is your greatest success. In addition to what I mentioned already, I've also worked with fiction, nonfiction, and medical texts, and have experience with Chicago, MLA, APA, AP, and Turabian styles (and any combination or modifications in between). I completed my Masters of Science degree in Publishing from Pace University in 2016 and have 10 years of copyediting experience.
