While I no longer offer line editing, I continue to provide light copyediting and proofreading services for select publishing partners. My focus is on preserving author voice while ensuring consistency, clarity, and polish across the manuscript.
With decades of experience refining dialogue, ensuring accurate punctuation, and maintaining a careful balance between narrative flow and technical precision, I approach each project with a seasoned editorial eye. My process includes a high-level review of stylistic consistency, grammar, usage, and mechanical correctness—always aligned with publisher guidelines and tailored to the unique needs of each manuscript.
If you’re a publisher seeking an experienced editor to support your in-house team with light copyediting or final-pass proofreading, I welcome your inquiry. Contact me directly via email.
With decades of experience as an editor for major publishers—including HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, Workman, Adams Media, and Avalon Travel/Moon Guides—my editorial journey has been rooted in a deep commitment to literary excellence. My work has been honored by Writer’s Digest and trusted by publishers and authors alike for its precision, insight, and mentorship-driven approach.
These days, I work selectively, partnering primarily with publishers on projects that align with my editorial strengths. While my personal availability is limited, I continue to guide client work through my editorial agency, WordWiser Ink.
Our team of seasoned editors offers a full spectrum of editorial services for both publishers and indie authors. With expertise spanning Black fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, academic texts, scientific and medical works, articles, and web content, they bring clarity, structure, and polish to every project—always with deep respect for voice and cultural nuance.
If you’re seeking experienced, culturally attuned editorial support, we welcome your estimate request. Every inquiry is reviewed with care, and if I’m not available, a trusted member of my team may be the perfect fit.
