My Experience

During my 15 years as a freelance editor, I have edited numerous books, articles, theses, academic   papers, and other manuscripts. I am known for  
my attention to detail, my ability to see the 'big
picture,' the excellent working relationship I 
develop with authors, and my good turnaround
time and respect for deadlines.

What I Provide

My primary goal is to provide the author with a      well-written manuscript. I accomplish this not
only by correcting grammar, spelling, etc., but 
also by reorganizing and rewriting, where      
appropriate, and by making suggestions for
further improvement. In addition, through my
suggestions and explanations, I help authors
continually improve their writing.
