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.

I have backgrounds in both education and writing, and am excited to use both to develop new solutions. In education, I have 28 years of experience as a high school English teacher, Assistant Principal, Digital Learning Coordinator and Data and Assessment Coordinator. I have a doctorate in Educational Leadership, and received National Board Certification. Outside of the classroom, I have extensive experience with data management, curriculum development, and instructional technology.I have a proven track record of leading initiatives that grow collaboration, support staff development, and utilize technology to enhance teaching practices. Throughout all of this, I am also a writer and editor who has successfully taught creative writing, worked one-on-one with authors, and served as both a beta reader and developmental editor. If you are looking for an experienced professional who is proactive, thorough, dependable and creative, I am excited to talk with you about what we can build.

I currently offer developmental editing and beta reading services for fiction, with a focus on science fiction and fantasy. I'm happy to provide short edited samples (10 pages maximum) for free; this is a good way to see if my editorial style is compatible with you. Don't hesitate to reach out with an excerpt of your work! My developmental edit process includes: - 2 passes (one "readerly" pass, followed by a slower, commenting pass) - an editorial feedback document; lengthy, generally 15+ pages - a commented manuscript - optional: tracked changes within the manuscript; if declined, NO changes will be made to the manuscript text - continued revision-based discussion via Upwork or email (no further passes without a new contract) I strive to complete developmental edits within 4-5 weeks. I am happy to look at manuscript samples (no more than 10 pages) and provide comments on those samples at no charge. I charge $0.025 per word for developmental edits. My beta reading process includes: - requesting a list of 4-6 questions for my feedback focus - 1 pass - 1 feedback document organized around your questions; this can be either general feedback focused on the manuscript as a whole, or piecemeal feedback (chapter-by-chapter, etc.), according to your preference - optional: continued revision-based discussion via Upwork or email (no further passes) I strive to complete beta reading contracts within 7-10 days, though piecemeal feedback may be slower for longer manuscripts. For works under 80k words, I charge $100 for whole manuscript feedback and $150 for piecemeal feedback. For works over 80k words, I charge $0.00125 per word for general feedback and $0.0019 per word for piecemeal feedback. Genres notwithstanding, I have a deep love for stories that make readers wrestle with fresh perspectives and uncertainties in personal, intimate ways. I have a powerful curiosity about fictional worlds, which makes me fiendishly keen to verify details and maintain consistency. This also means I’m always eager to hear authors gush about their world-building! As an editor, I aim to help stories connect with readers in the way the author intends. My time working with self-translating writers has intensified my appreciation for this nuanced connection stories forge between people; I have learned that one of my greatest strengths is my willingness to ask authors exploratory, difficult questions about their work and to listen to the whole of their answers, however intricate or arcane. I strive to use this compassionate, detail-oriented approach to help authors however I can. If you're looking for an editor who will embrace your story for the reasons you're writing it in the first place, I am the right editor for you.

With my HR background I understand how these documents are used in practice and how employees are likely to interpret them.
