I have worked as proofreader and copy editor for a scientific journal published by NASA. I have line edited book manuscripts, proposals for agency clients, screenplays and dramatic treatments alike. When engaged in higher-level editing, I help bring out the author’s voice, rather than forcing it to conform to a stereotypical notion of good writing.

Let me assist you in raising your writing style to its highest level.
