I edit books for publishers and self-publishers, while also occasionally working on other kinds of communicative pieces (web copy, newsletters, op-eds, and the like). The Latin word for edit is edare, which means “to bring forth.” This is how I think of editing: not as critiquing or correcting, but as helping to bring forth the meaning and spirit of a communicative project, thus enabling a stronger connection between writer and reader. I’m most drawn to projects that explore themes of social justice, nature and interconnection, history, and creativity, with approaches that are unique and honest. After talking with you about your project, I will create a custom proposal that suits your unique needs. Please email me for more about my editorial approach and services.
