NEED AN EDITOR?
It’s been my pleasure to edit and consult on several award-winning projects prior to their publication, and I’m always looking for my next editing project. Interested in getting an editing project started? Fill out the interest form on this page, or explore my services & previous edited works below.
Here are some of the services I offer:
“First read”/ developmental editing
This is a comprehensive, collaborative edit where I can provide insight into structure, phrasing, style, tone, character, and more. Regardless of where your project is in its overall development, a first read can provide valuable insight into where to go next. In particular, I’m interested in editing memoirs, collections of poetry, and fiction related to indigenous and LGBTQ+ topics.
Manuscript consultation
Designed for writers whose project is relatively complete, manuscript consultations involve detailed notes about how to make your manuscript the best it can possibly be. Feeling stuck just short of the finish line? Not sure if your piece is ready for publication? Need a second set of eyes on your project? A manuscript consultation might be the right fit for you.
Copy & line editing
Not looking for structural insight, but want the “red pen” treatment from someone with experience? Whether it’s checking for typos, phrasing issues, grammar or just run-on sentences, I’m available to copy edit a wide variety of projects, including academic and technical writing.
