As a trained journalist and published author, my passion lies in empowering individuals to tell their stories. I approach editing with a positive mindset, highlighting a work's strengths and ensuring all aspects are equally compelling. My commitment and attention to detail are unwavering for every project. 

I offer developmental editing (big picture), line editing (stylistic), copy editing (mechanics), proofreading, manuscript evaluations, and more. I utilize the industry standard Chicago Manual of Style to ensure consistency with book publishing practices.
