Who I Help

Independent writers, students, publishers.

I edit on a Mac, using Track Changes in Microsoft Word. I can adjust to the style guide and dictionary of your choice for copyediting.

I approach all projects with respect, confidentiality, and a love for language, author voice, and authenticity.
