Your work deserves to have its message heard far and wide, and to do that, the words you use deserve quality editorial care. As a writer myself, I’m here to help.
I have over four years of experience working as a copy editor to assist nonprofits, individuals, academics, and prospective graduate students with their communications needs.
Nonprofit Copy Editing and Communications
I have over four years of experience working with national and international nonprofit organizations to hone their communications materials, including:
- reports
- blog posts
- fact sheets
- one-pagers
- policy briefs and proposals
- press releases
- talking points
- toolkits
- curricular materials for youth and adults
- position papers / white papers
- other documents as requested
Long-Term Editing, Project Management, and Consultation Services
In addition to shorter communications materials, I also work with nonprofits and individuals to bring longer projects to completion, including curricular material and book-length manuscripts.
Graduate School Personal Statement / Statement of Purpose Coaching:
This is one of my favorite services to offer, as I get to learn about interesting people and subjects while assisting them with their professional journeys. A writing coach for admissions essays can make it substantially easier to produce a concise, well-written argument for why each school, program, or fellowship suits your goals.

Academic Copy Editing and Developmental Editing
For anyone dealing with specialized material, it can help to have another trained, academic set of eyes look at your work before the official readers do, taking a weight off your shoulders. I work with academics on a wide range of documents, including:
- journal articles
- conference papers
- theses/dissertations
- monographs
Copy editing catches typos, inconsistencies, subject/verb agreement, grammatical errors, formatting inconsistencies, issues with logical flow, and other small or large infelicities.
Developmental editing focuses on the project as a whole, looking for where your argument, essay, or story wants to go. I’ll help you sort out the sentence, paragraph, and even chapter or section organization that will best highlight your main points.

If you’re looking for a service not discussed here, or have a question about existing services, my editorial philosophy, or my policies, please let me know. I’m sure we can work something out! I want to help you with your writing, and with what you need to get the high-quality attention your words deserve.
