With more than 30 years of editorial experience, I can take any text and make it clearer, shorter, or both. I work hard to preserve your voice while meeting your goals for clarity, grammar, style, and word counts. My specialties include stylistic and structural editing, line editing, developmental editing, editorial “shrink-wrapping,” coaching, translation, indexing, and glossary writing. I edit books, articles, blog posts, dissertations, grant narratives, textbooks, marketing material, dictionary entries, and just about anything else. I work with both native and nonnative speakers of English. I am available for both short- and long-term work, often even at short notice. I am comfortable with a broad variety of subject matter, and am happy to learn about subjects with which I was previously unfamiliar, and to make them understandable to a rank beginner.
