Subtle copy edits for projects of art, justice, and transformation.
Whether children’s books or dissertations, newsletters or grant proposals, writing is a way of communicating with the world. My edits help writers prepare their work for publication and distribution by helping them best convey their meaning and by allowing the writer’s own style to come through. My comments for writers are grounded in my training in writing pedagogy, as well as my work with international editorial teams for books, magazines, reports, and different types of academic texts. My clients appreciate my intuition, expertise, and aversion to artificial intelligence.
I am available for proofing and copy editing soft- or hard-copy texts across media and formats; I am expert in Chicago, APA7, and several other styles. I am also available for general editorial assistance with projects large and small, including formatting and fact-checking.
My specialties include:
⌯ copy editing technical work (including dissertations)
⌯ line editing advanced drafts of nonfiction prose
⌯ refining reports, handbooks, and course materials
⌯ advising on best practices for scholarly citations.
