An author myself, I understand the love-hate relationship one develops with their manuscript just about that point in the process when it's time to release it to an editor. As a seasoned editor, I go well beyond correcting grammar and mechanics to delve into the style and tone, the storyline, and character development an author has thoughtfully constructed. I offer feedback in the margins and in the form of a summary upon completion of the edit. I'll tell you what you're doing right—as well as what's not working for you. Editing is an exercise in problem-solving, so I eagerly come alongside you to detect and resolve any issues in the manuscript.

With over a dozen years as a freelance editor, I not only have experience, but a real passion for my work and for my clients. My existing authors will affirm that I become fully invested in their projects and desire to see them succeed. I freely share any resources I can with regard to the editing process and even contacts and referrals to colleagues and services to help them advance in their next steps. When you choose me as your editor, you are starting a relationship with a professional you now have access to through publication and beyond.
