"I'm back from the wilds of Africa and just getting through the stacks of correspondence. But I wanted to thank you very much for your work on my book. ... I welcomed the revisions you did make and your attention to detail. That was helpful. Let's hope it all now spirals into a wonderfully-received book." �Jillian Robinson, Footsteps Adventures, Author of Travel That Can Change Lives �: Inspiring Tales and Tips for Richer, Fuller and More Adventurous Living

As most people realize, editors cope with huge amounts of written material, manuscripts, and correspondence regarding current and pending projects. I work with clients in a variety of time zones. Therefore, I prefer email contact, initially. Please e-mail me about your project.

I believe professional editors, particularly those involved in developmental editing, each bring their unique perspective and expertise to a project; and do so without changing the author's style. A great editor enhances the writer's work so that it sounds like him or her at her best, whether that style is conversational, formal, businesslike, clipped, humorous, or beautifully descriptive. I've worked with all styles of writers and feel comfortable working on most manuscripts, particularly fiction, young adult fiction, childrens, pets, and consumer health.
