Want your writing to stand out?
I’m an editor and plain language enthusiast who helps writers make the words in their heads match the words on the page. Let’s work together to refine your manuscript, journal article, thesis, personal essay, workplace writing or website copy.

Editing
If your words are on a page, I’ll help bring them greater cohesion, coherence and continuity.
Substantive editing focuses on your document's formatting, content, language and style. This type of editing ensures your message is appropriately pitched to your intended audience.
Copyediting refines your document's spelling, grammar and punctuation to be accurate, clear and consistent.
Proofreading
Do you know the difference between affect and effect? What about when to use that and which? How about MLA and Chicago? I do. If your document needs one last round of editing, let me find those pesky last-minute errors and infelicities for you.
Plain language
Do you want writing that engages and persuades readers? Plain language is for you.
This type of editing looks at your document's structure, design and wording. I'll help you write so clearly and concisely that people only need to read your document once to know what you want them to do and have the information they need to do it.
