My passion for editing springs from a fascination with language as a tool for self-expression, communication and imagination. I have a BA in languages and linguistics from Earlham College and more than 10 years of experience as an editor and proofreader of both creative and practical writing.
CREATIVE: I work with you and your text to produce vivid, compelling prose. I give thoughtful, constructive feedback to develop smooth narrative flow, powerful emotional/character development, a strong voice, and effective technique.
PRACTICAL: I work with you and your text to produce clear, effective, typo-free writing that features concise, well-organized content, direct and engaging language, professional, consistent style, and a presentation that supports and complements the message.
