WHAT I DO
I offer professional copyediting, indexing, and proofreading services. In a nutshell, I take

press document in need of a last-minute scan, or a book in need of an index, I can help.
I pride myself on
- Dependable, accurate work
- Utmost attention to deadlines
- Reasonable rates
- Flexible payment options, including credit cards and PayPal
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 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 museums, university professors, undergraduate and graduate
students, curricula developers, self-publishing authors, and well-known trade and
scholarly presses.
I invite you to peruse these pages to find out more about me. Please contact me if you
have any questions or would like to discuss your editorial needs. I’d love to hear from
you.
