Your story, but better.

I have edited RITA finalists, New York Times and USA Today bestsellers, dozens of college and university social sciences textbooks, and hundreds of pages of technical documentation. Whether you intend to self-publish or submit to agents and publishing houses, let me help you champion your work through impeccable copyediting and proofreading. Your story will be better; your words tighter. Your work will shine. 

A copyedit addresses flaws on a technical level, making sure your writing, plot, setting, and characters are consistent and logical. A good copyeditor has a strong understanding of the rules of English. I follow The Chicago Manual of Style and will provide you with a style sheet that explains how its rules apply in your manuscript.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the last step before your manuscript goes into production. The proofread addresses any still-existing errors, typos, or formatting errors after a line or copyedit. The proofread is the last set of eyes on your work.
