I am a certified copy editor — one of a select group in North America — with 25 years of experience. I specialize in line editing, copy editing, and proofreading because I love looking at the details.

I have copy edited or proofread more than 190 books. I also have extensive experience writing and editing many other types of materials. I’ve developed excellent working relationships with hundreds of authors and other publishing professionals. See Portfolio.

My background is wide-ranging and perfectly suited for editing. It’s also notable in that it includes a science background: a biology degree and an interdisciplinary MSc. My training as an editor encompasses university editing courses, countless seminars, and seven years of comprehensive in-house editorial experience.
