for the love of words

Even editors need editors.

Proofing and editing a document  guarantees the basics. It ensures grammar, mechanics, and syntax comply to standard English and you're getting your message across.

Substantive editing goes one step further to ensure your target audience is understanding your message, whether informational or persuasive. It ensures vocabulary complies to industry regulations or norms, referencing complies to preferred citation style, and your document in appropriately structured.

As a former ISO 9002 quality auditor, I can help you communicate complex instruction and  information in a way that's easy to understand. I have bridged the gap between functional processes and technical departments to create white papers in support of developing fundraising software.

Neither my degrees nor my love for literature, film and writing has gone without attention. Targeting authorial voice and audience reception, creative writing can include ghost writing, coaching and feedback, line editing and polishing, or establishing persuasive and emotive natrrative.
