specialize in freelance editing, proofreading, and manuscript evaluations for fiction and nonfiction. I’ve also worked on corporate communications, including marketing materials, reports, handbooks, and websites, and on academic manuscripts such as student papers and theses. You may be a first-time author preparing to self-publish, a business leader desiring a clearer corporate image, or a student with a paper to complete. I can help you understand and touch your readers, establish or polish your style, improve your marks or profits, and ultimately, leave a legacy in writing.

My array of services includes:

What I don’t do are rewriting, ghostwriting, formatting, design work, or search engine optimization. However, if you should need any other services besides those listed above, I am well connected in the publishing world, and I’ll almost certainly be able to help you find the right expert for your needs.

Manuscript editing and proofreading are broad categories and encompass many different editing levels. For more detailed descriptions of the various types of editing levels, please go to my page on Definitions of Editorial Tasks.
