I am a multi-talented professional with 30-plus years’ experience in book publishing. Whether the task is to assess a manuscript, fine-tune it, or guide it toward publication, I offer both a microscopic eye and peripheral vision, keeping in view the smallest details within the big picture.I am motivated by connection and relationship. This motivation informs my editing style, whether I’m viewing the text up close or from a wider perspective. At the word level, my focus on connection helps me (re)craft sentences and paragraphs that create a smooth narrative flow—always working for clarity and readability without losing sight of the text’s personality. At the structural level, I work to ensure the various sections tell their tale in coordinated progression.I love the relationship I develop with the text when editing a book—getting deeper and deeper into the manuscript, coming to understand it better and better. But this also applies when working to produce a book—getting deeper and deeper into the entire publishing operation, collaborating closely with the text and art, with the author and associates, up until the finished product arrives. I love every step of the process, and every part has its value.*Clients appreciate my "intelligent reading," "first-rate" work, "sensitive and wise" approach, "utmost respect for the text," "deep expertise," and "sophisticated understanding of language."
