I offer copy editing, line editing and manuscript review for any and all kinds of written work -- poetry, fiction, nonfiction, academic and technical projects. Focus is on clarity, readability, flow, correct use of punctuation and grammar, precision of word choice, etc.Early career to mid-career resumes and cover letters are a specialty. I can offer a variety of layout styles from snappy to sedate. I will help trim your resume to a reasonable page length, remove redundancies, and make sure your cover letter and resume are each doing their job effectively. Prospective employers will "see" you at your best and most valuable right off the bat.Depending on my schedule, I can usually provide quick turnaround for most projects. As part of my fee, I offer a 1-hour manuscript conference and a track-changes enabled Word file for your review. (You choose which suggested edits to adopt and which you want to skip.)I love making strong manuscripts stronger, helping writers who are 'stuck' get unstuck, and identifying the core focus of a writer's work. I particularly enjoy the process of discovery that comes with working with fellow writers. Whatever it is you want to say, I can help you say it clearly, convincingly and with heart. Show less
