Welcome authors!

I am a skilled freelance editor with years of professional experience working with authors to develop, write, revise, and polish stories at all stages from outline to completed manuscript.

I have spent years honing my editing skills through writing courses and workshops, editing courses through UCSD and EFA, studying style guides like Chicago Manual of Style, and writing my own stories.

I hold a Certificate in Copyediting through the University of California San Diego, and I have been editing professionally since 2016.
