Why do you need ME as your editor?
Previous clients have stated I’m a kind and gentle editor who values their voice. I strive for excellence, but with what I like to think of as a softer, yet thorough, pink-pen approach. Further, I’m an avid reader and writer myself, which enables me to understand the world of a writer, author, and creator, your world. I am trustworthy with a very strong and honest work ethic.
Marion Roach Smith, author, memoir coach, and teacher of memoir writing, explains she has stretch marks from every book she’s worked on. I have found this to be true for me as well, and I thoroughly enjoy the process.
My genre of choice is non-fiction, particularly memoir. However, I have also edited fiction, self-help, and a range of articles, resumes, one-sheets, websites, and small projects. Additionally, I have created and edited extensive website content, written copy, and designed graphics for Christian organizations and media outlets, giving me a good perspective on the needs of a project across its full scope.
Hiring an editor for any level of editing allows you to focus on your message. Let me handle the details! In the long run, a thorough edit will save you time and improve the quality of your work.
In addition to project-based rates, I am available to discuss a flat monthly rate for your church, company, organization, or personal business. This could include any editing projects (images, emails, newsletters, marketing ads, presentations, etc.) you have throughout the month, prioritized. I can help catch any lingering issues to ensure your projects and publications will look polished and professional.
I follow CMOS (Chicago Manual of Style) guidelines while preserving your voice and style.
