Whether you need just a proofread or help organizing your project from the beginning and going from idea to published, I can help ensure that your project structure and style align with your goals and intended audience. I can help focus your voice and tone to convey your desired message. I can help you define exactly how you would like your piece to turn out, and then help you achieve it.
Why I Might Be the Write Match for You:
Professionally Trained Editor:
Certificate in Editing, University of WashingtonAdditional certificate in Storytelling and Content Strategy
Native English Speaker (American English)
Experienced with Canadian, British, and Australian English, and can provide international alternative meaning checks that help you avoid unintended references in your text.
I'm not the write match if you're looking for a poetry editor, however, I do offer poetry beta reading. Editing projects containing small amounts of poetry are welcome, but no poetry-focused projects. For a referral to my poetry editor colleague, please see "The Book of Ana", appendix A: Referrals to Colleagues.
