Editing & Editorial Development

Editorial development for writing that matters.

Sometimes a piece of writing doesn't need more words. It needs a clearer argument, stronger structure, sharper voice, or someone who can look at it with fresh eyes and find the thread.

That's where I come in.

Find what's working. Find what's missing.

I work across medical, scientific, academic, and professional writing to help writers see the bigger picture by identifying what the piece is trying to do, what’s getting in the way, and what needs to happen next.

Manuscripts • Reports • Major revisions • Revise & resubmit • Sentence-level editing • Dissertations • Theses

Editorial judgment. A writer's ear. A clear sense of what matters.

I've spent 25+ years writing, editing, researching, and teaching. I've learned that good editing is about more than fixing what's wrong. It's about understanding what a piece is trying to do, seeing where the argument or story gets lost, and knowing what to change and what to leave alone.

With a PhD in Composition & TESOL and an MA in English & Technical Writing, I bring both academic expertise and professional editorial experience to every project.
