Profile
Use my 25 years of experience in editing and evaluating manuscripts to make your writing the best it can be! As an editor, depending on your needs I organize your text so it flows smoothly, clarify and tighten the language, tailor the message for the target audience, correct embarrassing errors before it’s too late, and collaborate with you tactfully and professionally. I respect your voice and style, so the final product is your message written in your style. When evaluating your manuscript, I provide you with concrete, constructive feedback and suggestions for improvements.
When I have time, I knit, crochet and quilt. Since high school, I’ve been an avid reader of English history and historical fiction. I’ve gone even further back to revive my first love: I am writing a science fiction novel.
