Edit for Copy: The Copyeditor
My Why, and Why Me.
Who am I?
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. As a professional copyeditor, my passion is all about grammar, clarity, and helping others share their ideas in the most effective way possible. Whether you’re a business looking to strengthen your brand or an author ready to share your story with the world, I’m here to ensure that your writing connects with your audience.
I’ve always had an affinity for language. My love affair with words began before I could even write them—drawing pictures and narrating stories to my captive family audience. This early storytelling evolved into being the kid caught reading books when I was supposed to be paying attention in class (more than once, I’ll admit). Eventually leading to a Bachelor of Arts in History, where I learned that even the most fascinating stories require clarity and precision to truly resonate. It’s this love for storytelling, language, and detail that has shaped who I am as an editor.
Today I’m constantly exploring the ever-evolving world of grammar and style guides, ensuring my knowledge is up-to-date and relevant. I approach each project with a dedication to understanding the unique needs of my clients, allowing me to meticulously refine your work. I pay close attention to the nuances of style, tone, and grammar to make sure your message is clear, concise, and aligned with your goals. I understand every word matters, and I strive to ensure your content is not only grammatically correct but also resonates with your intended audience.
Why work with me?
Every style guide has its intricacies, and every audience has distinct needs. I pride myself on navigating these complexities with meticulous attention to detail. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions, I tailor my editing approach to ensure your message reaches its intended audience effectively.

Avoiding Costly Mistakes: Small mistakes can add up quickly, damaging your credibility. I’m dedicated to catching those pesky typos, grammar errors, and inconsistencies, safeguarding your reputation and ensuring your message is delivered flawlessly.
Clear Communication: A great piece of writing isn’t just correct—it’s compelling and engaging. I’ll make sure your copy is not only grammatically sound but also enhances your communication, ensuring your message is clear, engaging, and impactful.
Constructive Feedback: I offer an objective, outside perspective, providing constructive feedback to help you refine your work and grow as a writer. Whether you’re crafting a business proposal or a novel, my goal is to empower you to communicate with confidence.
Time-Saving: Writing and editing take time, and I know you have a lot on your plate. By handling the editing process, I give you more time to focus on what you do best—running your business or writing your next masterpiece.
For Authors: Your manuscript represents countless hours of creative labor. I help refine your narrative without diminishing your unique voice, addressing plot, pacing, and character development while catching those elusive typos and inconsistencies that might otherwise undermine your passion of bringing your story to life.
For Businesses: I transform your communication materials from merely functional to genuinely impactful. Your message deserves to be not just error-free, but compelling—driving your audience to action while reinforcing your brand’s credibility and professionalism.
For Nonprofits: I elevate your mission-driven content to inspire deeper engagement and support. Your story deserves to be told with clarity and emotional resonance—connecting donors to your cause while ensuring your communications reflect the professionalism and integrity that builds lasting trust in your organization.
What fuels me beyond the page?
When I’m not immersed in editing, you’ll likely find me cheering passionately for my favorite sports teams, planning my next history-infused adventure, or with a book in hand, lost in a new world. I have a never-ending TBR list, both digital and physical, and my love for learning is something I carry into everything I do.
For me, editing is more than a job—it’s about helping you communicate your message in the best possible way. Whether you’re telling a story, marketing a product, or sharing an idea, I’m here to help you achieve clear, compelling, and error-free content. Words have power. Let’s make yours count.
