Editorial Services
As an editor, it's my job to polish the diamond you've given me. A great author-editor relationship is built on respect and recognition of the collaborative process. I help you strengthen your own voice, rather than impose my own on your work.
Read what past clients have to say about working with me below.
Whether you're writing a journal article in new media studies or a historical fiction novel, my approach to your work is the same: I carefully read your manuscript, identify your unique voice, and make suggestions that I believe will strengthen your argument, your characters, or your point of view.
See the types of services I offer below.
In addition to my Masters, I attended the Denver Publishing Institute where I honed my editorial practice and have nearly a decade of professional experience working with cultural institutions, corporations, and independent authors to strengthen their authentic voices.

Nonfiction Article Evaluation
-
An article evaluation gives you big-picture feedback on your project. Whether a journal submission or full-length book, an evaluation letter will outline the strengths and areas of opportunities of your argument, structure, and supporting details. Length is dependent on publication type - longer works submit 2-3 chapters only.
Fiction Developmental Editing
-
Developmental editing dives into the areas of opportunity outlined in a manuscript evaluation. It is a true collaboration between author and editor and seeks to optimize the structure and narrative of your fiction story from beginning to end.
