I first started working in the publishing world when I volunteered as a writer and editor for BYU's Insight magazine my freshman year. Since then, I've been honing the skills that make me a stand-out editor and writer.My editing work is known for being thorough and thoughtful and for honoring the author’s voice. As your editor, my primary goal will be to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re writing a novel or a webpage, I'll focus on your goals and what you want to create, and every edit will focus on making the best version of that possible.I offer the following services:• Developmental Editing: I will catch the vision for your project, whether it’s a website or a book series, and help bring it to life. If you have a finished piece, I can help with structural editing. If you have a writing concept but nothing written, I can help you develop your project. I also offer writing services.• Substantive Editing: I can edit your finished project so the writing shines. For your technical project, I will edit so the writing is tight, clear, and accessible. For your creative work, I will edit so your unique voice comes through even stronger.• Copy Editing: I will edit your work for correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. If you have a style guide, I will help you adhere to it, or I can help you create one. And your fantasy world needs copy editing to keep it all consistent!• Proofreading: Your project needs a final set of eyes before it’s sent out to the world, and I can be those eyes. I’m a skilled and careful proofreader and am proficient in Adobe Acrobat.• Typesetting: I’m a meticulous and thoughtful typesetter. I understand what makes a typeset spread look beautiful. I’m careful to address all possible issues and to make sure each spread is not just technically correct but aesthetically pleasing.Editing specialties:• Fiction Editing: Editing fiction of all genres and for all ages, including developmental, substantive, and copy editing.• Middle-Grade Fantasy: Writing and editing middle-grade fantasy. Open to ghostwriting.• Manuals and User Guides: Editing technical manuals, game manuals, course materials, and user guides.• Captions and Transcripts: Copy editing captions and transcripts for technical and transcription errors.Interviews: Editing interviews for publication, aiming for concision and cohesion.If you are an indie author or creator, please reach out so I can help bring your project to life.
