Academic Editing: Covers everything from term papers to doctoral dissertations to personal essays, all of which I have extensive editorial experience with. I know how to help you get your point across in the most effective way possible. I can also make sure your paper meets the guidelines of a required format or style (such as APA, for example).

Copyediting: More extensive than proofreading, copyediting encompasses everything from “light” edits that modify a document only slightly to “heavy” edits that overhaul it completely. It can involve reviewing a document for structure, style, consistency, tone, and flow. All levels of copyediting include correcting typographical errors and mistakes in spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Ghostwriting: I will help you write a novel or nonfiction book to your specifications, either uncredited or with an “as told to” or “with” credit.

Indexing: Creating an alphabetical index for any nonfiction book, as general or detailed as needed.

Legal Editing and Proofreading: As a former attorney, I know first-hand the importance of precision in legal work. I can review your memos, briefs, and deposition transcripts for consistency and accuracy. I can also help you draft or revise an employee handbook.

Proofreading: Finding and correcting typos, misspellings, and grammar and punctuation mistakes. Can also include fixing inconsistencies within a document or between two documents.

Resumes: I will work with you to craft an effective, persuasive resume from scratch. I can also help you improve your existing resume, or simply proofread it for errors—the ones that you miss but potential employers spot immediately!

Writing: I can write any of the following for you:

• Articles
• Books
• Brochures
• Employee handbooks
• Newsletters
• Press releases
• Sales letters
• Speeches
• Web copy
• Other writing projects on an individualized basis—please call or e-mail to discuss.
