  With an eye for detail and a love of language, I can help your writing shine. I emphasize clear and precise communication, so you never feel like you're in the dark when I'm editing your work. My nuanced approach strives to preserve your authorial voice while maximizing its impact.

Services:
Copyediting
Line editing
Proofreading

My specialties include creative nonfiction, humor/satire, and fantasy/sci fi as well as B2B content such as wellness, tech, and marketing materials. I'm well versed in AP, APA, MLA, and Chicago style. I also emphasize conscious language in my editing work, particularly surrounding gender and disability.

Aside from editing, I love to throw pottery, cook creative food, and do voiceovers. I've been known to play drums in rock bands and do the occasional standup comedy set as well.

I offer a free 1500-word sample edit for independent authors to determine if we'll be a good fit. See what I can do for you and your writing!

Testimonials:
Nimmy is exactly the copyeditor I was looking for. She's great at adding a layer of polish and correcting errors in the blog posts, ebooks, and other content pieces that I publish for my technology content marketing business. Unlike many editors, she isn't heavy handed. I'm always happy with the quality of her work. As a writer and occasional editor myself, I've benefited tremendously from Nimmy's keen attention to detail, her willingness to engage in back-and-forth discussion on the intricacies of grammar, and her direct citations of the Chicago Manual. She helps me to improve my craft.
