As an editor and writing coach, my goals are twofold: 1) to help you learn the skills to become a better writer; and 2) to help you find and maintain your voice as a writer. I provide mindful, compassionate, and thoughtful editing and coaching.

To prepare a manuscript for publication, there are (roughly) four editing steps:

1. Writing Coaching
2. Developmental Editing
3. Line/Substantive Editing
4. Copyediting
5. Light Copyediting

Many projects do not fall neatly into one of these categories, however. I will work with you to find a form of editing that best meets your needs.

I do two types of editing for dissertations and theses: light copyediting and regular copyediting. Most grad students prefer a light copyedit because it is more affordable. I also offer a free online writing group for grad students.

• Dissertation
