Welcome! Explore my editorial work below.

I've worked on books from these publishers: Spiegel & Grau, Zando, Catapult Books, Counterpoint Press, Soft Skull Press, HarperCollins Leadership, Wren House Press, Cheval Press, Ingenium Books, Avocet Books 

I've worked with these agencies: Neuwirth & Associates, Westchester Publishing Services, Foreword Literary Consulting, Scribe Media

I've also worked with self-publishing authors to proofread or copyedit their manuscripts.

I'm a freelance proofreader and editor based in San Antonio, Texas. I have experience in book publishing and journalism, from copyediting full-length manuscripts to proofreading magazine pages. I'm detail oriented, organized, and an avid reader. 

On any given day, I can be found with a stylebook, a latte, and my laptop open to my latest project, all within arm's reach. Thanks for visiting my portfolio, and please reach out through the contact form below with any questions!

I work with each client to establish their priorities and preferences before beginning an edit. That may entail deviating from standard style practices, ensuring a certain tone remains consistent, or accommodating any number of specific requests.

I generally follow Merriam-Webster and either The Chicago Manual of Style or AP Stylebook . I'm very familiar and comfortable with both.

Please reach out via the form below for details on my editing experience or for samples of my work. I look forward to working together!
