Substantive Editing

I am a freelance editor with 13 years of experience working for academic publishers. I have 11 years of on-staff service as a copy editor and production editor with Roxbury Publishing (since acquired by Oxford University Press). I began freelancing in 2001 and have worked as a proofreader and production editor for Oxford University Press and SAGE Publications journal division. I currently serve as production editor for 5 international scientific journals, for which I oversee the preparation of manuscripts including copy editing, typesetting, and serving as a liaison with the authors. Professors from local universities have used my assistance as a copy editor for research papers prior to submission to academic journals.

Beyond academic editing, I have been a freelance copy editor and production editor for many non-fiction trade publications, including over 70 titles in the consumer education market. Many clients also hire me for small business communications, such as editing and researching content for newsletters, brochures, and websites.

I hold a BA in English with a minor in creative writing from Kent State University and have taken classes in the journalism department at the University of California-Los Angeles. If you have a project you would like to discuss, you can contact me here.
