Editing/Freelance Writing
So you like what I do and want me to take a look at what you’ve written? Great! Send me an email or give a call
The best aspect of working with me? You receive personalized attention and customized packages that are an exact fit for your needs. I can work with you to become a better writer or improve your website content or work independently to free up your time for other projects.
Some of what I do:
Manuscript Critique:
You’ve spent a long time writing, which requires close attention to detail and story. When it comes time to edit, however, this same focus can make you blind to what needs to be polished or reworked. I carefully read your manuscript and offer an in–depth analysis of your work, subdivided into: theme, character, plot, dialogue, and structure. I provide a thorough critique for each and suggestions for reworking. This is imperative for every writer. Often, we get friends or family to read our complete drafts, but all the different advice can get confusing. I offer an unbiased fresh set of eyes for the writer who wants to delve into editing but doesn’t know where to start. Manuscript critiques are inexpensive but priceless!
Copy and Developmental Manuscript Editing:
For when your manuscript needs more than another pair of eyes, requiring serious editing to bring it to the next level. Maybe you don’t have a fondness for editing or just want someone else to lead the process.
I dive in deep to turn your rough draft into a gem. Agents and publishers receive thousands of manuscripts weekly–make yours a cut above the rest and get it noticed. Packages here range from simply and affordable copy edits, in-depth projects where I walk you through the publishing process-from rough draft through query letter, or months long tutoring on becoming the best writer you can be. Think of me as your own personal MFA program.
Ghost-writing/Rewriting: You’re the idea person, but are too busy to sit down and finish the writing process? Then collaborate with me! We work together in various stages to produce a polished piece of work that is all yours!
Content Editing:
Okay, so you have a website, but creating compelling content isn’t necessarily your forte? I can help. Choose from several customizable packages, ranging from clean and easy content editing, SEO optimization and keyword enhancement to a complete content overhaul to bring in the traffic and results to build your business. I can work with you on a weekly, monthly, or single time basis.
Magazine Article Editing:
One of the keys to excelling as a freelance writer rests in continual output. By editing your articles I allow you to spend more time writing. With proven experience for clients publishing in nationally circulated magazines, I can efficiently polish your prose, so that you can concentrate on what is most important-writing. From copy to developmental editing, no project is too large or small here.
Essay and Thesis Editing/Tutoring:
For the graduate or PHD student whose future is riding on a perfect thesis. I provide in depth editing and tutoring in a wide range of disciplines and have helped create perfect graduate level theses in the fields of: education, English literature, rhetoric, art history, philosophy, fiction, poetry, and psychology. Please contact me for a free five page critique.
Proofreading and Fact-Checking:
I have the fastest turnaround on the planet. Whether it’s an article that needs to get out asap or a thesis that needs to be perfect, I am there to make sure it is absolutely perfect. There is nothing more embarrassing than finding a typo in print or a fact that is wrong. Let us keep your image and writing professional and impeccable, from start to finish.

Expert transcription services, fast turnaround, perfect pitch.
Freelance Writing:
I like to think of my brain as a steel trap – - most everything gets in and not much gets out. This is helpful in many ways. Not only am I a great trivia partner, but I know a little about a lot of stuff. Pair this with my natural curiosity toward almost everything and you have a natural writer. I am fundamentally interested in your projects and products and love to turn your dreams into written reality. With a published background in everything from health and wellness, weight loss, natural medicine, cooking, fiction, book reviews, and cooking, I have the experience to add compelling content to your website, magazine, newsletter or brochure.
