I have edited hundreds of novels, memoirs, textbooks, and other fiction and nonfiction titles, many of them during my six years as a Supervising Editor for Scholastic Inc. I specialize in developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading—I take manuscripts and improve their story arcs and characterizations and fix all grammatical and stylistic errors. But most of all, I punch up the prose—I make it more vivid and concise, and the dialog sound more interesting and natural.
