Proofreader & Copyeditor | Manuscripts, Blogs, Articles, and Web Copy

Make your manuscript shine with a trained editor who understands the writing process from the inside out. I'm a professional proofreader and editor with formal training from the PEN Institute and a deep understanding of what it takes to bring a manuscript to life—because I’ve written three myself. I know how personal and important your work is, and I bring that same level of care and attention to every project I take on. I specialize in fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, offering a clean, polished final product that stays true to your voice. I also enjoy working on other written material—blog posts, articles, essays—anything where clarity, flow, and professionalism matter. What I Offer: • Line editing and proofreading for grammar, punctuation, and clarity • Detailed attention to tone, consistency, and reader engagement • Constructive feedback when desired • A friendly, communicative, deadline-driven work ethic Whether you’re looking for a fresh set of eyes on your novel or a meticulous review of your nonfiction draft, I’m here to help you present your best work. I also provide critiques for works-in-progress and understand the importance of helpful, respectful feedback. Let’s polish your pages and get your writing ready for the world.
