About

Word Wrangler

I'm an experienced copy editor and proofreader with a Master of Liberal Arts degree, and a professional career in marketing, business, and grant writing. I’m the managing editor for The Bookie Monster, a website specializing in SF/F/H book reviews for independent and mainstream authors. I've worked as an editor and content coordinator for the At Hell’s Gates horror anthology, and as a proofreader for a fantasy fiction anthology that is not yet published.

When it comes to editing, I have an eye for detail. When you’re finished writing your first draft, I’m here to help you polish your novel, through a close edit to look for inconsistencies, continuity errors or plot holes. If your final draft is complete, I provide proofreading to find those sneaky mistakes that the typo fairy left in your manuscript. Whatever the project, I'll attack it with passion and dedication.

If you hire me for your project, not only will you get my skill and my passion, you'll also get my dedication. I have a firm belief in seeing things through and living up to one's commitments. Hire me, and you’ll get a collaborative partner who strives to let your unique voice and vision shine through your work.
