Editing Services

Welcome! I love spending my days with words! And I love helping people get their writing ready to go out into the world. In my editing, I get to live many lives. Knowing that I’ve been part of poetry collections, scholarship, and engineering reports and training out in the world is deeply gratifying. Moreover, I’m delighted to be able to put this talent I have for noticing the errors and inconsistencies in everything to good use! To see the kinds of editing I do most often, see below.

I also developmental-edit mind-body-spirit manuscripts, focusing on big-picture issues such as audience, purpose, and arrangement. Here, I pay attention to and comment on both the pieces and the whole those pieces create. I have also worked with writers in process, passing chapters back and forth. Each developmental editing project is different, so contact me and we can talk about your needs!

I can also proofread reports and web content for those pesky errors that are so hard to find when you’re the writer! I’m a good last set of eyes! I see errors everywhere (except in my own writing, of course, because even editors need editors).

If you’re interested in talking further about editing and proofreading or getting a sample edit to see if we’re a good fit, please contact me. I have reasonable rates and accept payment via Paypal, Venmo, and Stripe.

Academic Editing

I’ve edited many scholarly articles and dissertations for English language correctness and consistent style (APA, CMOS, MLA, etc.), cross-checking citations and references. I’ve edited in disciplines ranging from education to engineering, from English literature and psychology to cybersecurity. I have also coached dissertating writers and helped applicants with personal statements and curriculum vitae. Learn more
