Bestselling author, award-winning investigative reporter, writing coach, certified editor,and agency-represented children's book writer and illustrator.
I am new to Guru, but not new to editing and proofreading. I have 28 years experience with newspapers, magazines, and publishing houses. I'm a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and the American Copy Editors Society (ACES). With nearly 400 satisfied clients on another freelancing site, I've become one of their most sought-after editors.
I currently work for Readers' Favorite as an editor and proofreader. I also write magazine articles for Local News, Inc.
I edit books using publishing industry standards: The Chicago Manual of Style 16th Edition, Merriam Webster, and Strunk and White. I specialize in children's books, fiction, thrillers, young adult fiction, fantasy (including all splinter genres) nonfiction, and comic books. I am educated in fantasy, Sci Fi, and paranormal editing, all highly specialized with their own editing style guide. I hold publishing industry standards editing certification, so you can be assured your book will be properly edited.
