Problems like passive voice and wordiness can challenge any writer—and confuse any reader. I’ll make sure each sentence is active and clear.
Build trust with your readers. I’ll refine essential style and branding details while ensuring consistency.
Did you double-check your math, the spelling of that unusual name, and the phone number you want readers to call? I’ll check the facts.
I’ve been copy editing since 2001. My specialties are investing, business intelligence, and theology, but I can edit anything.
I’ve also worked as a production manager to coordinate editorial, design, marketing, and sales teams. I developed and implemented a custom content project management solution for a fast-paced daily blog. As a managing editor, I’ve developed author relationships, set print budgets, created style guides, written marketing copy, optimized SEO, and more.
