Where the author's text shines

A Look Back at My 2025 Projects

​

As a freelance editor, I provide three types of services: proofreading, copy editing, and line editing. To give you a sense of the type of work I take on, in 2025 I worked on thirteen manuscripts. Six were proofreading jobs and seven were copy editing jobs.

 

For fiction, I worked on two fantasy novels, one military fiction, one young adult novel, one new adult romance, and one collection of short stories.

 

My nonfiction work included three memoirs. I worked on three guidebooks, one of which was geared toward business leaders, another toward educators, and one for at-home caregivers.

 

Of the total thirteen projects, four had medical/health themes as a major focus of their manuscript. I find these particularly interesting as I have a background in healthcare.

​

One of my specializations is memoir. I have enjoyed working on a wide range of memoirs, including personal stories told by survivors of civil wars and psychiatric illness. But I am a big believer that we all have stories to tell—about our jobs, our childhoods, our formed families, our other relationships, our health, our civic engagement, or about challenges we have encountered. If you have a memoir ready for editing, I’d love to help you with it.

 

I also enjoy working on historical fiction, particularly early American history. History is a true love of mine, starting from my years during college as a tour guide at the House of the Seven Gables in Salem, MA. In my personal time, I am a reader of both history and historical fiction, and the opportunity to take on a historical fiction manuscript for editing is a special treat for me.

 

But as my overview of 2025 projects shows, I enthusiastically take on a variety of fiction and nonfiction work.

​

I have enjoyed working on each of these projects! Each manuscript presents unique challenges that keep the art of editing alive for me.
