As your manuscript approaches completion, I provide a meticulous, line-by-line and paragraph-by-paragraph review to refine grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting. With decades of experience in journalism, degrees in journalism, American studies and American history, plus additional training in copyediting at the University of Chicago, I bring both editorial precision and subject-matter insight to every project. I’m proficient in major style guides—including The Chicago Manual of Style (18th Edition), AP Style, and others—ensuring your work meets professional and publication standards.

Rate: $50/hr. However, every project is different and I’ll propose a total cost after learning more about your needs. (Note: Copyediting is not proofreading, which occurs just before publication.)
