Books • blurbs • web content • blogs

Editor. Writer. Proofreader. Word nerd.

My experience encompasses many facets of the communications world, but editing is my passion. I draw on my experience as a magazine editor and writer, newspaper reporter, marketing communications executive, and book editor to help my clients’ writing shine.

I work with authors, businesses, and individuals who want to improve their writing. My most recent projects: editing many nonfiction books, numerous novels, blog posts, promotional materials, book blurbs, opinion pieces, online magazine articles, confidential business proposals and presentations, e-books, and web content.

All editing projects are considered.

  • Manuscripts – memoirs, fiction, nonfiction, children’s books
  • Book blurbs/back cover material/descriptions (edit or rewrite & refresh)
  • Business proposals and other documents
  • Articles
  • Scripts
  • Marketing materials
  • Blog posts
  • Presentations/PowerPoint
  • E-books
  • Web content
  • Short stories

I enjoy working on all kinds of projects, large and small. So whether it’s editing an action-adventure novel or rewriting job descriptions to make them ideal matches for a national wireless company’s upbeat, fast-paced culture, I apply my attention to detail and creativity to every job. My tools include The Chicago Manual of Style (used by most book publishers) and The Associated Press Stylebook.
