Hello! Iโm Anthony, a freelance copyeditor and proofreader based in Minnesota. I help publishers and authors with stress-free solutions to bridge the gap between a final draft and a publication-ready book.
I specialize in commercial fictionโespecially thrillers, contemporary romance, and mysteriesโas well as scholarly and trade nonfiction, mainly in the humanities, business, and education. My work has contributed to titles published by Harvard University Press, W. W. Norton, Thomas & Mercer, Montlake, and Berrett-Koehler, among others, and has helped books reach the top five of the overall Amazon Best Sellers list and receive starred reviews in ๐๐ถ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ช๐ด๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ญ๐บ.
Whether youโre a production editor facing a full schedule or an author seeking a final polish before submission or self-publishing, I offer a gentle but impressively thorough editorial approach. My goal is to elevate your writing while fully respecting your unique vision and voice.
Iโve partnered with everyone from prominent scholars and industry thought leaders to ๐๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ด and ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ bestselling authors. They often remark on my clear communication, positive energy, and meticulous attention to detail. I pair a background in English and teaching literature with a certificate in copyediting from UCSD Extended Studies and an expert-level mastery of Chicago style, ensuring your manuscript is technically sound and has a professional shine.
