I am an experienced writer and teacher with skills in copy editing, specializing in developmental and line editing. I have written newspaper editorials, taught English and Language Arts, tutored English, worked as a writing coach, and currently work as a copyeditor. I copy edit fictional and nonfictional books, articles, and website content of all genres. Working closely with my clients is essential for developing a trusting relationship. We collaborate to ensure that the client’s manuscript meets their objectives. Contact me so that we can make your writing ready for publication!
