About

Copy editor with 7 years’ experience editing timely and precisely for high-profile publishers

I started editing professionally in 2007 with Publication Services, Inc., a prepress house working largely with U.S. academic publishers. While working at Publication Services, I oversaw editing for many clients’ books, managing editing freelancers and providing final edit review as well as regularly taking the lead in editing books myself—particularly for time-sensitive projects and when publishers requested especially heavy editing.

Over my years working with Publication Services, I oversaw editing for a wide range of publications, including not only traditional books, but also distance learning courses (University of Illinois), government and government-solicited publications (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Energy), and trade magazines (Dell Power Solutions, the Electronic Engineering Times).

Since Publication Services’ closing in 2011, I’ve continued working with chiefly the same clients; these days I work particularly with John Wiley & Sons, Aspen, Elsevier, Thieme, and Dell, Inc., providing largely heavy and developmental editing, especially in legal, medical, and STEM publications.
