Academic & Nonfiction Copyediting
Whether it’s an article destined for an academic journal or a local history book, you’ll want to work with an experienced editor you can trust to help develop or copyedit your project.
Academic & Nonfiction Story Coaching
Maybe what you want is a developmental editor to read what you’ve written so far and to guide you to the finish line with clarity and encouragement.
I’ve been where you are—starting an idea, researching, writing, revising, and then wondering: What’s next? Let me help you get there. With years of journalism and academic experience, I can coach you from idea to manuscript as a developmental editor. Or if you’re ready, I’ll copyedit and format your academic or nonfiction work for publication.
