About

I aim to edit your copy so it's the cleanest and easiest to read.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool, honest-to-goodness copy editor. I don't use copy editing software; I use spell check and grammar check as backup only. Usually I click on ignore in grammar check because it's wrong so often.

Real copy editors deliver meticulous, knowledgeable line and substantive editing; know grammar, spelling, punctuation and syntax; and have broad general knowledge. As a lifelong copy editor I can line edit, substantively edit and critique all kinds of writing from advertising to novels. I'm doggedly thorough; some would say persnickety. That's because I care.

One of my clients said, "Linnea is a fabulous editor. She is by far one the best I have worked with. She surpassed all my expectations in editing my articles and delivered more than I asked for."

I can do the same for you. So why not use the copy editor writers turn to?

Work Terms

I'm in the Pacific time zone but work with clients around the world such as China, Norway and Australia.
