Jen M. Bailey

Bio

I am an accredited Development Editor from the University of Washington Certificate program.  I'm most interested in editing material that aligns with my literary interests (science and speculative fiction, literary fiction, science and nature writing) and academic background (life sciences, ecology, space), but as a newly minted second-career editor, I can lend my varied life experience to anything from web copy to poetry to memoir. 

I am an outdoorsy poet, a failed knitting artist, dog and human mom, and former environmental consultant for NASA.  I am living temporarily in Portugal and interested in connecting with clients and partners from all over the world.
