Freelance Writing and Editing: From First Draft To Publication
My writing and editing services fulfill a variety of project and publication needs.
My approach is to develop and understand content ideas before implementing prose strategies. In other words, I generate ideas for or with clients before implementing the language and form that best conveys these to the intended audience.
I have worked for higher education, non-profit, philanthropy, publishing, and policy thinktank clients.
Editing and writing services include
- ghostwriting and content creation
- proofreading

- in-depth developmental editing
