ALLOW ME TO PARTNER WITH YOU
As an editor and proofreader, my goal is to work alongside you to make your writing into a masterpiece, whether it's a manuscript, Bible study, devotional, article, short story, or blog.
​
I'll also edit or proofread other pieces, e.g. cookbooks, recipes, resumes, letters of 
recommendation, and newsletters.

My preference is to work with on-screen versions of your project, but hard copy is also an option. I'm experienced with Word (Track Changes) and Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDFs.

I can use your editorial style sheet, or create one for you as I work through your project.

The latest issue of style guides are used as references, e.g. The Chicago Manual of Style, The Associated Press Stylebook, and The Christian Writer's Manual of Style, along with Merriam-Webster's Dictionary.

I do not edit horror, the occult, or sexuality.

My rates are based on the Editorial Freelancers Association guidelines.
​​
​If you're not sure what level of service your project requires, I'm happy to have a conversation.
