About Me
I’ve been proofreading, copy-editing, and line editing since 1988 for prestigious trade publishers such as HarperCollins, Viking Penguin, and Little Brown, for international best sellers like Ann Patchett, Barbara Kingsolver, and Isabel Allende; critically acclaimed authors like David Wroblewski, David Vann, and Goncourt Prize winner Brigitte Geraud; thriller and crime fiction authors like Daniel Silva and James Patterson coauthor Peter de Jonge; and self-published or not-yet-signed writers. I believe that a good copyeditor approaches every job with consistency, flexibility, and respect for both reader and author.
