About

Line editing specialist. "The world is full of words. Finding the right words requires skill and obsession." - Lee Caleca

"Line Editing isn't about correction; it's showing the writer the power of his or her voice."

Award-winning author and book award judge, I routinely exceed client expectations with all the research and attention to detail you should expect from a top editor and writer.

I edit for structure, redundancy, irrelevant or ineffective words, and the overall readability of your writing.

I've edited hundreds of submissions and have a prolific practice covering several career fields.

Recently retired from one of the top U.S. communications companies, I deliver the equivalent experience of a full team of writing professionals to your assignment. I invest 60+ hours a week of commitment and dedication to my craft.

I've been writing and editing for more than 40 years, and my instinct for what makes good writing has been honed by many years of research, and personal experiences.

This is a pursuit of art, inspiration, and excellence. With diverse personal knowledge obtained from many years of professional, societal, and artistic endeavors, I provide a perspective rarely found in independent freelance writers.

You won't find a more thorough eye for detail, structure, and consistency. I'll make sure your project is clear and cohesive from the start, that your fiction maintains theme, plot and timelines, or that the opening to your nonfiction book presents a tangible thesis that expands throughout the content. I can illuminate what you've written and make it more engaging.
