Editing

While drafting my first novel, I discovered that writing without an editor is a bit like driving blindfolded: you might survive the ordeal, but nobody else will enjoy it.

Put another way: anyone with something important to say must ensure that their story is not only heard but understood.

That’s what an editor does: promote the clarity of your ideas and your story through our precise and careful revisions.

You’ve already written something great, I can help you ensure everyone who reads it knows that, too.

What can I help you with? 

  • Scripts & screenplays

  • Academic articles

  • Grant applications

  • College essays

  • Fiction & Non-fiction 

  • Poetry

  • Memoirs 

  • Technical writing

  • Digital journalism

  • Content marketing

  • And more!

Commercial philosophy:

When I work with your firm, I recognize that you may have more projects than you have time to finish and I’m happy to help with all of them.

I believe my job as your editor is to turn work around quick and easy, and not to bog you down with needless technicality.

Creative philosophy:

I believe in teaching my fellow writers to fish rather than fish for them in perpetuity.

I owe a lot to the wonderful editors I was lucky enough to work with early on in my career, who took the time to teach me rather than just correct me. Without their help, well, I’d still be pretty crap.

That’s why I also offer one-on-one skill-building reviews in addition to my standard content, copy, and developmental editing services.

When we work together you can expect:

  • Precise, insightful, and effective edits delivered with unfailing punctuality.

  • Years of experience and training from top U.S. universities.

  • Fluency in a broad range of topics technical, historical, academic, and artistic.

  • Clear communication throughout the editing process, with further revisions as needed.

Revisions are difficult to do alone. Let’s work together!
