As an editor and writer, I offer the following services:

EDITOR

Copy editing

I fix grammar and spelling errors, standardize style, and improve clarity and flow. Good copy editing enhances your work, helping you to say what you want to say as clearly and effectively as possible.

Line editing and rewrite 

When I line edit, I concentrate on language and the paragraph-by-paragraph organization of your content. I re-write if necessary, always in collaboration with you and always sensitive to your tone, style, and meaning.

Substantive/developmental editing

This is the most in-depth form of editing. I focus on the structure, organization, and form of your work, whether you have a complete book or manuscript or are looking to develop one and need editorial assistance and support. The process begins with a detailed evaluation of your manuscript, outline, or proposal. I identify strengths and weaknesses and offer suggestions for how to proceed.
