Charlotte-area copyeditor and proofreader. Well trained in the Chicago Manual of Style. Im all about clarity, consistency, cohesiveness, and getting the details right.I earned my professional development certificate in Editing from the University of Chicago in 2022. My goal is to be an advocate for the reader by ensuring that your message is clear, consistent, and grammatically correct. (But correct grammar does not always equal an effective sentence, so I also know when to break a rule.) I can provide anything from a simple proofread to a more substantive edit addressing sentence structure, syntax, word usage, and the organization of information.I have an ABJ degree in advertising from the University of Georgia, and my background is in advertising agencies and in-house marketing departments. Ive helped hospitals, art museums, architecture firms, and retail stores effectively create and deliver their messages.
