Maybe you're rushing through a nearly overdue assignment, worried your emails don't sound professional enough, or just feel like you need someone else to check your work for errant apostrophes. No matter what you need, I'm here to help. While I specialise in academic papers for ESL students, my previous work includes everything from PhD theses and magazine articles to short stories, professional emails, and business reports. During university I also regularly proofread and copy edited fellow students' assignments and was sub-editor for the university newspaper. Writing and editing degree-level essays has helped me to gain a strong sense of what is appropriate for academic texts in particular. I enjoy editing a range of material, meet deadlines without fail, and look forward to working with you.

I have authored, co-authored and edited works of all types, styles and lengths in a diverse range of genres and subject areas. Most pieces for which I have provided editing services have been accepted for publication by prestigious outlets; however, I will always give the same careful attention to detail and thoughtful, fast feedback to all work I am entrusted with, no matter the intended purpose.

For over 15 years as the senior editor of a popular arts publication, I've edited more than 10,000 articles by writers from all walks of life and different kinds of academic backgrounds. I have a hunger for clarity, succinctness, and corroboration. My goal has always been to push writers to do their best work while also ensuring that they never lose sight of the integrity of their unique voice. Your cover letters, articles, emails, sort stories, and so forth will be in good hands.

After earning my Honors Bachelor of Arts in English (cum laude), I obtained a certificate from the Denver Publishing Institute and a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science (Phi Kappa Phi). I've always been a careful tutor for my peers, and I spent my undergraduate career honing my editing skills as a newspaper copy editor (and a couple semesters in grad school working as a blog editor). Working for a periodical publication has meant that I've learned to be meticulous and professional in my editing and to get copy edited on a tight schedule. In addition to newspaper and blog work, I've also edited book manuscripts, including children's fiction, poetry, and narrative nonfiction--and my training at the publishing institute (as well as five subsequent years working in in academic publishing) has served me well in these more literary pieces. I've worked with a wide range of types of writing, and the material I've worked with has been for a wide range of audiences. I've edited academic papers, short fiction and nonfiction, magazine and newspaper articles, and the occasional business correspondence. I've also had experience working with writers for whom English is not their primary language, and I understand Spanish sufficiently to translate. As a student of literature, I've studied poetry and prose in depth. I'm eager to apply my critical understanding of literature to new works and gain experience editing new genres and styles.
