Hello and welcome!
If you’re a writer looking for an editor, please consider my background, skills, and enthusiasm. I’ve been hooked on reading and language for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been editing professionally for over seventeen years. My knowledge of grammar, spelling, usage, and syntax is excellent and is informed and enhanced by The Chicago Manual of Style, The Associated Press Stylebook, The MLA Handbook, Merriam-Webster, and other leading sources. My focus, above all, will be on recognizing your unique voice and helping you use it with clarity, precision, and color. I want you to share with me the goals that you have for your project, and I’ll help you to achieve them.
