In addition to working for decades doing full-time editorial work at major publishing companies, I have completed a significant number of editorial and proofreading freelance projects, both fiction and nonfiction, over the span of thirty years. My education has focused on history, religion, and genealogy, but my areas of interest are far wider. Until March 2025, I was a contract production editor for Alpha Publishing, working on their Internet/Computer/Technology school textbooks (Kindergarten through Grade 12). In addition to proofreading and copy editing, my responsibilities included photo selection, page quality assurance, and style consistency. Prior to that, for over twenty years I was a senior proofreader at the custom college textbook division of Pearson, handling a wide range of subjects and project types. As the focus of the company transitioned to online materials, I did copy editing, proofreading, and other quality assurance tasks in a variety of media. In the years before that, I worked for the trade book division of Addison-Wesley as a production editor, working on non-fiction books such as Friday Night Lights. I also worked for D.C. Heath as a copy editor, focusing on elementary through high school textbooks. I'm familiar with a range of style guides, including the Chicago Manual of Style, APA, AP, Words into Type, and others. In addition, I'm very proficient with Microsoft Word (including Track Changes), Adobe Acrobat for pdfs, and PowerPoint.

I am a qualified full-time proofreader and copy editor. I have also taught English as a foreign language, so I have an excellent command of the English language, including grammar and punctuation. I have edited, developmental edited and proofread a number of fiction and non-fiction books, and I have worked as a proofreader for a magazine. I have an excellent eye for detail and can work in UK, AUS, or US English. I can also translate from Spanish, French or Italian to English. I have written three of my own non-fiction books, and have ghostwritten several other published books. I am professional, efficient, and excellent at my job. I would love to work with you and you will be really happy you hired me!

Experienced editor and proofreader with a keen eye for detail.

I have seven years of experience in helping writers enhance their work to a higher level, including three years as a technical editor/technical writer. I believe that no matter what the work is, it should be clear, concise, and consistent. I have a strong knowledge of both the Chicago Manual of Style and the AP Stylebook.

Your manuscript is finished. But is it ready for readers? I help authors and publishers evaluate manuscripts from the POV of intended reader and identify what is working, what isn't, why, and what deserves attention before publication. As a Beta Reader and Proofreader, I look beyond surface-level errors to examine the actual reading experience. I look for plot holes and inconsistencies, pacing problems and slow sections, weak character motivation or development, confusing scenes or unclear information, inconsistent characterization, weak or slow openings, predictable developments, unresolved plot threads, and points where reader engagement may drop. WHAT YOU WILL GET: Instead of a pile of vague comments, you receive clear, actionable feedback that helps you understand your manuscript from the reader's side what's working → what's not → why → what to fix first. FOR FICTION: I pay close attention to plot, pacing, character arcs, conflict, tension, emotional payoff, consistency, and reader engagement. FOR NONFICTION: I examine clarity, structure, flow, repetition, organization, reader engagement, and whether the manuscript delivers on its promise. Once the manuscript has been revised, I can also provide professional proofreading to catch grammar, spelling, punctuation, formatting, consistency, and other surface-level errors before publication. Let me be the one to diagnose your reader's experience and give you actionable feedback. Send me a message!

★ 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?
