Editing and Writing Support

My editing specialty is preserving your unique voice. My clients typically say, "It sounds like me, only better!"

fantasy fiction
paranormal and historical romance
autobiography
website copy
academic articles
personal essays

I can support all writing stages, from pre-draft plotting to mid-draft developmental editing to final line editing and proofreading.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University, where I won the Grace May Tilton Prize for my senior thesis and received a personal prose commendation from the writer Joyce Carol Oates.

I've also taught grammar, sentence structure, and essay composition to thousands of students.

I continue to be grateful for the work you did editing the manuscript of my life story. Your editing turned my manuscript into a readable document. This past fall The American Historical Society published a portion of my memoirs without any additional editing. That was a tribute to the high quality of your product. I am delighted to endorse your work as an editor.
