All writers need an editor. Having written several novels and edited many more, I have an eye for story, character, and emotional arcs; I can tell you what scenes are serving the book and what are not; I can chart out where your book is successful and where it falls flat. It's hard to dive into your manuscript with the intent of dismantling it to see how every aspect works, but I promise it is worth the effort. The genres I am best-suited to read are speculative, particularly fantasy, across MG, YA, and adult ages.

Are you trying to decode the latest article in Nature Neuroscience? Perhaps you've written about integrating psychology studies into educational practices. My focuses are neuroscience, human health/physiology, molecular/cellular biology, genetics, and animal studies, but contact me to see if I might be the right editor for the job!

Done with a second or third draft? Need someone to check for word choice, grammar, redundancy, and clarity? I work quickly and respect your authorial voice and style so your work can be clean, tight, and within word limits.

Last minute checks? Ready to go to print, but just want one more pair of eyes? Don't feel like indexing or double-checking your references? (Having written academic papers, I know how that feels!) I can do these tasks for you so that you can send your manuscript off with peace of mind.
