Copyediting & Proofreading

With over 10 years of experience proofing and marking up copy, teaching MLA, APA, , AP and Chicago style guides, and perusing the Webster’s Dictionary for fun, I can turn any piece of writing into a flawless masterpiece ready for publication. I can even tell when there is an extra space in your copy.

Copywriting

In a world where marketing is trying too hard to be like a good poem, real poets are in high demand. Not only can I bring wit, wordplay, and hella good rhymes to marketing materials, but I can also work with consumer data to provide copy that gets results.

Ghost Editing

I have worked with writers from many backgrounds to help refine their projects so that the style, structure, and voice are cohesive throughout. I provide comments for wide-scale revision, line edits, notes on genre and audience, and I offer creative support throughout the life of your project.

Digital Editing

A thriving website has a few things: great content, a stellar layout, consistent style, and a thoughtful messaging campaign. I can create blog posts, feature articles, newsletters, and interactive media that will boost visibility and engage readers with data-driven stories and SEO.
