I work with artists and authors who have a story to tell. Are you a musician who has always wanted to write a memoir or a method book? Or publish an article in a journal or on your website? As a professional copyeditor and proofreader, I will ensure that your work is clear and effective and your final product is something that you can be proud of.

I check each sentence and paragraph for:

• correct grammar, punctuation and spelling
• word choice, wordiness and redundancies 
• overall consistency and clarity. 

​Have a project you would like to discuss? Contact me for more information on editing your project and options for pricing. 

How does it work? 

• After discussing your project via phone or email, I assess each potential manuscript and complete a sample edit to decide the level of editing needed.
• I provide an estimate and timeline for the project. 
• If you like my edits and communication style, we sign an agreement and I get to work!
• I edit in Word, using Track Changes and Comments.
• I am proficient in The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition.
