An editor\ncan give you the fresh perspective necessary to discover how your writing will\nbe received by readers. Editors are trained and experienced in catching errors\nand stylistic inconsistencies.

I work on pieces of any size from short\narticles to multi-novel series. I am always looking to expand my horizons, so\nfeel free to contact me about your work even if it doesn\u2019t fall into any of\nthese categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em><strong>What type of editing do I need?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">There are several different stages of editing, and your work\nmay need one or more of them. I specialize in line editing and copy editing,\noften done together, but can provide other types of editing in certain\ncircumstances as well.
