Editing
I am a skilled editor with over 15 years of experience in content, line, and copy editing and proofreading. I have worked in web management and can conduct website audits, improve web copy, and support search engine optimization. With a bachelor’s degree in writing and an MFA in graphic design, I also am available for book design and layout, making me a “soup to nuts” operation for those who lack the support of a large publishing house.
Recent editing work includes various master’s theses, a technical report on mass violence in the United States, survey reports for a Boston-based think tank, and a Japanese graphic design history book for a professor at Temple University in Tokyo.
My editorial philosophy focuses on appreciating and editing for the rhythm of the language. Editing involves accuracy, sure, but it also demands connection, flow, and music. Each sentence should travel easily to the next. And, yeah, the commas should be in the right places.
While I adore the Chicago Manual of Style, I am comfortable in AP, APA, MLA, and others. Whatever your preferred style guide, I’ll make your writing shine.
If you are an academic writer, a historian, or an artist, or if you write about nature and the environment, animal welfare, crafts, music, or progressive politics, I am the ideal editorial partner. I know just how to balance the intellectual with the enchanting and help you connect with your desired reader.
