With 10+ years' experience as a technical writer and editor, I specialize in highly complex content, from pharmacology to rocket science. I'm an expert in adapting content to various audiences and media. But I also love working on fiction and popular non-fiction products.
I provide freelance content editing services (including substantive and developmental editing as well as proofreading and copyediting), content writing, and technical writing services. Take a look at my portfolio to get a sense of my work. I also consult with technical writer teams to create bespoke style guides and streamline processes.
Services
If you're a first-time author, you might wonder what sort of editing you need. Here's a quick and dirty breakdown:
-
Developmental editing helps you address the macro view of your work. A developmental editor will suggest large changes like changing scene order, adjusting plot points, or combining sections. They won't generally fix grammar and spelling.
-
Line editing helps you make every sentence flow like butter.
-
Copyediting is fixing the nitty gritty grammar and punctuation.
-
Proofreading fixes the most minute of minutiae, often once the book is already in its final layout.
They're all critical. But they don't all have to be separate processes with separate payments. I provide an "In-house Bundle" where I will do them all at once, but I also offer a la carte services to meet your needs. Reach out and we can find the best plan for you!​

ABOUT ME
As a science and technical writer and editor with 10 years' experience, I firmly believe that even the most highly technical content can be understandable, accessible, and engaging. Using simple sentence structure and plain English doesn't mean "dumbing it down." It's about communicating clearly! In fact, I believe the most complex topics require the simplest language, explanatory graphics, and clarifying examples. Not only does this approach make for engaging copy for native speakers, it will also open up your content to non-native speakers.
