Services: Editing

Need an experienced copyeditor or proofreader to tackle your next project? I have an eye for detail and consistency that will make your text cleaner, easier to understand, and error-free. My regular projects include the monthly inflight magazines for a major U.S. airline and its regional carrier, children's book authors, and nonprofit promotional materials. As a graduate of the University of Washington's Editing Certificate Program and 2017 Board President of the Northwest Editor's Guild, I am ready to handle nearly any project. I know Chicago, AP, and various tech styles, and can adapt to or create project style guides unique to your project.

My Method
There is nothing worse for an author than getting a draft returned that is full of corrections you don't understand or agree with. I like to maintain open communication with authors and explain why I suggest certain changes.
