Meet the Editor

Here's where the editing happens. 

I consider myself a kind, but real editor. I’m going to fix any mistakes I find because that’s my job, but I’m going to be nice while I do it. I love getting down into the basic mechanics that make every word and sentence come together smoothly. It’s amazing how a few tiny tweaks can improve the reading experience so much—that’s what drew me to the editing profession in the first place.

​

You won’t find prescriptivist “you must not split infinitives”-style editing here. I have more of a light hand—I don’t like fixing things that aren’t actually broken. That being said, some things can be improved even if they aren’t actually mistakes, and that’s what the commenting function is for. I want your writing to be the best it can be while still being uniquely yours, and everything I do works towards that goal!

Education

I have a BA in English (Creative Writing emphasis) from Western Washington University. I also have a Certificate in Editing from the University of Washington. You can bet I’ve done a lot of writing and editing for both of these certifications, so I can empathize with your writing process while still keeping my editor’s hat on.

​

I make keeping up to date with the industry my priority, so I constantly read writing craft and editing books, seek advice from more experienced editors, listen to podcasts, take courses, and otherwise continue my education so that I can provide the best services possible.
