What is your editing style?

I take a collaborative approach. I aim to preserve the author’s voice while tightening prose, clarifying structure, removing wordiness, and ensuring clear readability. My edits are practical (clear notes, tracked changes) and thoughtful (focused on readability and resonance).

What’s your background/experience?

I have professional editing experience across academic and creative contexts. I’ve worked with researchers, entrepreneurs, first-time authors, ESL clients, and experienced writers preparing manuscripts. I draw on a background that values both precision and storytelling.

Do you specialize in certain subject areas?

Yes. I often work on projects in Christian literature, memoir, business/professional development, grants, devotionals, and creative nonfiction. And I enjoy editing fiction, especially when it is allegorically or thematically resonant.

Do you do sample edits?

Yes, I usually provide a short sample edit (2–5 pages) so an author can see my style and approach before committing.

What’s your availability?

I schedule in advance, and I’m always excited to take on a new project. Timelines depend on word count and scope, but I work with authors to meet their deadlines whenever possible.
