I'm a professional book line and copy editor with active publishing credits at Bloomsbury Academic and Peter Lang, and an ongoing editorial relationship within the HarperCollins ecosystem. Most of my work is with manuscripts that are already well developed but not yet settled on the page – memoirs finding their shape, nonfiction books tightening their argument, academic writing being made readable for a broader audience. I work at sentence level and structural level, preserving the author's voice while making the writing do what it's trying to do. Alongside editorial work, I take on occasional writing projects – including educational fiction for young readers and reflective or essayistic nonfiction – where structural thinking and tonal precision are central to the brief. My approach is careful rather than heavy-handed. I’m attentive to rhythm, register, and nuance, and I'm especially experienced with writing that carries personal, political, or cultural weight – memoir, narrative nonfiction, research-informed work – where a heavy editorial hand does more damage than good. Services Editing & Proofreading • Line and copy editing for clarity, coherence, and tone • Stylistic editing with close attention to voice and register • Proofreading of near-final or publication-ready texts • Developmental feedback and structural editing for manuscripts at an earlier stage Writing & Content Development • Educational and learning-focused content • Short fiction for young readers • Reflective nonfiction, essays, and commentary Background • MA in Literary Studies (University of Glasgow) • Professional editorial training with the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) • Nearly two decades of senior leadership experience, including final editorial responsibility for high-level client and operational documentation I value accuracy, restraint, and good judgement. If you’re looking for an editor who works carefully with language – rather than over it – I’m happy to discuss whether your project would be a good fit.

Hi, I’m Jackie — a New York-born journalist with a B.A. from Northeastern University and a background working with major news networks, including ABC and NBC. I bring a sharp editorial eye and a strategic approach to writing, editing, proofreading, transcription, and research. I’ve spent nearly a decade as a full-time freelancer supporting clients across a wide range of industries, helping them clarify their voice, strengthen their messaging, and deliver content that feels polished, professional, and purposeful. From resume and LinkedIn updates to web copy and long-form articles, I focus on work that’s thoughtful, precise, and effective. I’m known for being dependable, efficient, easy to collaborate with — and yes, I also happen to do stand-up comedy, which tends to make the process a little more human (and occasionally more fun). Open to both one-off projects and ongoing partnerships!

Is your writing getting the response you hoped for? You have the ideas. You have the subject expertise. But when your message isn’t landing, it can cost you readers, opportunities, and sales. That’s where I can help. I work with academics, authors, businesses, and nonprofits who want their writing to be clear, engaging, and easy to follow. Together, we turn drafts that feel overwhelming or unfocused into content your audience can genuinely connect with. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative. I focus on what your audience needs to understand, feel, and do next, so your writing works the way you intended. If something feels “off” in your draft, but you can’t quite name it, you’re not alone. Genres and content types I work with most: • Academic & Research Writing • Admissions & Career Documents • Business & Marketing Content • Educational & Course Materials • Nonfiction Books & eBooks • Psychology & Mental Health Content • Self-Help & Personal Development • Educational & Course Materials • Technical & Professional Documents Send me a message today, and I’ll help you figure out what your writing needs to achieve your goals.

Hi! Welcome to my profile. For more than 30 years, I have been a professional fiction and nonfiction editor and proofreader. In addition to six in-house years with a publisher, I have more than twenty years of freelance experience and have worked with publishers, companies, and writers all over the world. As a Chicago style expert, I edit and proofread fiction (all genres, children's, YA, and adult) and nonfiction (educational and marketing materials, business books, and self-help books). With a strong background in fiction editing, I am--unlike many editors--an expert at dialogue punctuation and paragraph breaks. I edit MS Word documents using track changes, PDF files using Adobe's highlight/note function, and hard copy using the old-fashioned red pen. If you hire me, you'll get a detail- and deadline-oriented editor and proofreader who is easy to work with.
