Expert Profile

I’m a former University of Chicago Press editor, and I’m now taking on freelance writing and editing clients. A few timely books I’ve worked on are Rene DiResta’s Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies into Reality, Allyson McCabe’s Why Sinéad O’Connor Matters, and Alex Pappademas and Joan LeMay’s Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan. I also have an essay in Emerald Publishing’s 2020 book Music and Death. I’m a reliable, enthusiastic editor, writer + ghostwriter, and proofreader with more than 20 years of experience. I’ve worked as a medical copywriter, scientific magazine editor and writer, proofreader, fact-checker, newspaper editor/designer, e-commerce content specialist, website writer and editor, and academic book editor. I specialize in editing of all sorts—from stylistic to scholarly—line editing, and developmental editing and writing, and I work in digital and print, or manuscript, formats. A fastidious attention to detail informs all of my work, but at the same time, I am an easygoing and creative writer and editor. No matter the project, I will do whatever it takes to make it clean, readable, and enjoyable (if that’s what you seek). Please check out my resume. I’m also happy to share a list of clients on request.
