I love words.

I love playing with grammar.

I put these passions together to offer my services as a copyeditor, proofreader, or beta reader for fiction, especially romance fiction, but I will accept other types of fiction on an individual basis. I am also open to discussing these services for business writing as well, such as detailed emails, simple contracts, and other documents. I will take on your assignment only if I am comfortable that I can do it justice and make you shine.

As a writer and avid reader, when I copyedit or proofread, I can see the work from both the writer’s perspective and the reader’s perspective. I know that I need to stay true to the writer’s voice while ensuring the readers will interpret what the author is conveying without any confusion. As a copyeditor or proofreader, I review your work for any grammatical needs, punctuation, word choices, clarity, flow, repetition of words or thoughts, POV (point of view) issues, and more.
