Hello!

I am an experienced editor specializing in developmental and line editing for clients in the humanities and social sciences, and for nonfiction authors and scholars doing public-facing work in related areas.

After receiving my PhD in literary studies, I spent several years as the managing editor at an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal. I then went on to become a professional freelance editor. Taken together, these experiences have given me insight into the conventions of scholarly and nonfiction writing and the ins and outs of academic publishing.

Just as important, I am deeply passionate about assisting authors on the journey toward publication. I know that producing and finding an audience for one’s work can be a difficult and inscrutable task—one that I have undertaken myself and through which I have guided many authors in turn. And while the road to publication can be anxiety-producing, my job is to support clients at key points, providing confidence and knowledge along the way. In spite of the strictures of scholarly publishing and the challenges inherent in the writing process, one of the joys I get to experience as an editor is helping authors to create writing that reflects their hard work and values as thinkers, researchers, community members, and citizens.
