I offer professional copyediting, indexing, and proofreading services. In a nutshell, I take your writing and make it better. Whether you have a manuscript in need of clarity and discipline, a document in need of an eagle eye, or a book in need of an index, I can help.

I pride myself on

• Thorough, accurate work
• Discretion, courtesy, and professionalism
• Reasonable rates and flexible payment options
  

Who I Am

I am an independent contractor working from my home in beautiful Fairfax, California. With a PhD in English and over six years of experience as an in-house editor for a San Francisco Bay Area publisher, I have a solid grounding in both academic and publishing practices.

Although I have experience in a wide variety of subjects and formats, most of my projects fall into one of three categories:

• Scholarly papers and books, particularly those in the humanities or social sciences
• Nonfiction trade books, often on cultural, recreational, or environmental topics
• Art publications, such as exhibition catalogues, coffee table books, and educational materials

My clients include well-known trade and scholarly presses, museums, business organizations, university professors, graduate students, and self-publishing authors.

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your editorial needs. I’d love to hear from you.
