SUMMARY OF SERVICES
I have worked on thousands of fiction and nonfiction texts during my long career. Editing is at the very core of my work, but I also offer all the other services required to take a book to publication. Don't think of me as a "jack of all trades, master of none", though  - I have been doing all these things for years, to a high level of expertise. My clients feel safe with me on their side, as their reliable, engaged, objective ally. What's more, I have the ability to de-stress a normally difficult experience by guiding clients expertly, demystifying the technicalities, and taking care of everything they cannot do themselves. Always sympathetic and sensitive, I develop powerful, trusting, efficient working relationships.

If you want to find out more before my detailed pages are complete, just contact me directly and/or have a look at some of my author-client feedback.
