What can I bring to your project?

Experience

Having worked in-house with trade non-fiction, education, and academic publishers alike, my experience spans 15 years of editing, proofreading, marketing, and editorial project management, meaning I bring a multi-faceted level of skill and know-how to the projects on which I work. I pride myself in being able to see the bigger picture while also offering a high attention to detail, which means I can bring the best of both worlds when editing your books.

 

​

Subjects

My diverse background encompasses a wide array of subjects, including those listed below. However, I thrive on the challenge of delving into unfamiliar territories, transforming complex concepts into accessible and coherent content that resonates with your audience.

Art theory

Traditional media art

Crafts & hobbies

Animal care

Digital art (2D & 3D)

Business & history

Clarity

I love learning. And I especially love learning from a book that is well produced. The ones that spark curiosity and inspiration, that explain things well, and that have fantastic, high-end imagery.

 

Every word should illuminate the subject at hand, while design and artwork should enrich the reader’s engagement and understanding. I know what works well, and this knowledge and passion is what I bring to the non-fiction and educational materials to which I contribute.

Adaptability

In publishing there is no ‘one size fits all’. Different businesses have different workflows and content often arrives at varying levels of finesse. For that reason, I offer a dynamic and adaptable approach to managing and editing content: one that still gets everyone to where they want to be.

​

This adaptability has allowed me to work seamlessly on publications with tight deadlines, diverse content, and authorial voices. My ability to see content through a beginner’s eyes while having the confidence to tackle technical terminology means I offer a valuable skillset when editing.
