As your editor, my role is to make your manuscript the best it can be.My background is diverse. Earning an M.A. degree in Anthropology from Colorado State University in 1981 enhanced my 20+ year career as a contract archaeologist and subsequent 25 year career as a business owner. Currently, in addition to running Eagle Eye Editing, I am the Principal Investigator for the Cowford Archaeological Research Society, a non-profit group in Jacksonville, Florida. I have written and edited numerous proposals and research designs to win government contracts as well as uncounted archaeological research and compliance reports.

I also was technical / correlation editor for a book about Florida archaeology. Prospective clients include authors of technical, academic, and creative articles, papers and book-length manuscripts needing light proofreading to heavy copy and correlation editing. I will help, from organizing ideas to proofreading, fact-checking, light research, and creating bibliographies for the final copy.
