I have a degree in English, including classes in editing, usage, grammar, and style, as well as seventeen years of experience, most of that freelancing. I am familiar with multiple style guides, including Chicago, APA, Bluebook, and MLA. I am a wizard with tables and have a keen eye for bigger organizational issues, even though my specialty is copy editing.
I am also a fiction writer and developmental editor, so I have the specific know-how to make your story shine regardless of the level of editing you need. I am well read in the middle grade and YA markets of the last 10 years and can edit queries and help authors prepare for querying. I can do a sample edit of up to 2000 words for free so you can get a sense of my editing style, and I will give an estimate of the cost of the project after completion of the sample edit.
