As a freelance editor, I worked on a wide variety of books. Every client received two rounds of editing--an initial developmental edit, followed by a round of copyediting and proofreading. Works include When Dragons War by Susan Erikson, Jaz the Yorkie by Erik Underwood, Finding the Right Caregiver by Janice Washington, the debut novel by Jessica Hoffpauir, and more.

After leaving my in-house position at Greenhaven, I continued to work for them remotely on contract projects, as either an editor or proofreader, depending upon the need.

I was promoted from Proofreader to Editor, and in this role I was responsible for creating new titles for Greenhaven's At Issue series. I collected articles pertaining to a specific subject, obtained necessary permissions, edited, and wrote introductions for each, and compiled them into a manuscript.

I worked as a final proofreader, the last person to see the manuscript before it was sent to the publisher. As such, a high level of accuracy and attention to detail was required, with no room for error.
