Copy editing and proofreading for nonfiction books, reports, academic manuscripts, and high-stakes professional communications. I’m an editor with more than 20 years of experience across publishing, scholarly journals, government, and corporate communications. I help authors and organizations make complex writing clear, consistent, credible, and ready for publication or release—without flattening the author’s voice or changing the intended meaning. My experience includes work for University of Toronto Press, Peter Lang, Routledge, DIO Press, peer-reviewed medical and academic journals, and public-sector teams. I edit: • Nonfiction books and memoirs • Reports, briefings, policy materials, and stakeholder communications • Journal articles, theses, and research-based manuscripts • Web content, presentations, correspondence, and executive materials Services include copy editing, line editing, final proofreading, plain-language revision, style-sheet development, and reference and style-guide checks. I work confidently in US, UK, and Canadian English and with Chicago, APA, AMA, CSE, and Canadian Press style. Clients value my editorial judgment, careful handling of sensitive material, and ability to improve flow and readability while preserving voice, nuance, and technical accuracy. I work in Microsoft Word with tracked changes and clear comments and can adapt to established approval processes, house styles, and multi-reviewer workflows. Send the document type, word count, deadline, and a short sample. I’ll recommend the appropriate level of editing and provide a clear quote.
