As a skilled editor and proofreader with a strong academic background, I am committed to delivering the highest quality standards for every document I work on. With a BA in Literature and an MA in Professional Creative Writing, I bring a deep understanding of language, narrative structure, and style to my editing process. My education has refined my ability to analyze texts critically, ensuring that every piece of writing I review is clear, coherent, and polished.

My expertise spans a wide range of writing, from academic papers and research projects to creative manuscripts and business proposals. I understand the unique demands of each genre and the importance of tailoring my approach to meet specific needs. Whether you're a student perfecting your thesis, an author refining your novel, or a business professional drafting a proposal, I provide comprehensive editing services that elevate your work.

In academic editing, I focus on the clarity of argument, proper citation, and logical flow, while ensuring adherence to the appropriate style guide. I am highly familiar with a variety of style guides, including the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), Turabian, AP, and MLA, and I can adapt your writing to meet the specific requirements of each. Whether it's footnotes and bibliographies in CMOS and Turabian, in-text citations in MLA, or clarity and conciseness in AP, I ensure that your work aligns with the standards expected for your field or discipline.

My experience in creative writing allows me to collaborate closely with authors, offering constructive feedback on plot development, character arcs, pacing, and overall narrative voice. I help writers sharpen their prose without sacrificing their unique voice or style.

For business clients, I bring a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of corporate communication. Whether refining a proposal, report, or presentation, I ensure that your message is concise, persuasive, and professional. I also offer proofreading services for a wide variety of documents, meticulously reviewing grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting to eliminate errors and ensure consistency.

I approach each project with the goal of enhancing your writing while maintaining its original intent. My mission is to help you communicate more effectively, whether you're aiming for academic excellence, literary success, or professional clarity. No matter the document, I provide a thoughtful, thorough review to ensure that your writing stands out for its precision and impact. With my experience, education, and expertise in style guides, I offer a meticulous editing process that transforms your drafts into polished, ready-to-submit documents.
