Editor | Writer | Compulsive Book Buyer
I’ve been knee-deep in words my entire life. Addicted to reading, I read
multiple books a week as a child. Typing reports for my grandfather on his
typewriter and writing letters inspired a love for old-school charm. Writing
recollections of holidays set the foundations for my attraction to stories.
Editing books is an exhilarating process and a constant learning journey. I
appreciate writers because writing is really hard work. My intention is to help
authors as they endeavour to bring their stories to life through captivating
narratives.
My three-step process ensures each manuscript shines: first, notes and
comments on the manuscript to highlight areas of improvement. Then, line
editing to enhance clarity and flow. Finally, proofreading to ready the
manuscript for publishing.
I find the editing world to be the happiest place to be. It keeps me
surrounded by words and the magic of storytelling.
