Areas of Expertise
Developmental Editing
From big picture insights to persnickety catches in phrasing, I specialize in helping authors take amazing works to the next level. Developmental edits include line editing as well as larger issues, such as pacing, plotting, and structure.
Copy Editing
Comprehensive copy editing services go beyond simple grammar and punctuation. During a copy edit, I cull awkward and repetitive phrasing, pay attention to clarity and readability, and verify that the work complies with the style guidelines.
Proofreading
Every work needs a last check to make sure it’s ready for print. Proofreading is about catching the little typos and small errors that can enter into a work after numerous edits. This step weeds out small issues and includes minor fact checking.
Style Guides
Experience writing and editing in a variety of style sheets, such as Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), Associated Press (AP), and Modern Language Association (MLA).
