I have been working as a freelance editor since 2005. In that time, I've collaborated with individual authors and scholars; PR firms and cultural consultancies; major museums, art galleries, and art fairs; and academic and art publishers, developing and polishing a wide variety of short- and long-form texts.
I have edited art catalogues and exhibition didactics for museums, web copy for galleries, strategic reports and interpretive plans for cultural consultancies, and cover letters and résumés for executive-level museum professionals. I take a collaborative, flexible approach to editing, with the objective of ensuring clarity, coherency, consistency, and correctness to make each text the best version of itself. I'm an expert in Chicago style; I also work regularly with the Association of Art Editors style guide, an invaluable resource for applying conventions of art writing.
I've spent my adult life working with words. I received my BA in English, with an emphasis on creative writing, from Pomona College and studied the craft of fiction at UC Davis. I began freelancing while working as the managing editor of ZYZZYVA literary magazine in San Francisco. In 2010, a Craigslist job listing led to a freelance role editing interpretive and strategic plans for a cultural consultancy. That work evolved into my professional focus on museums and related organizations, which allows me to dwell in writing and art, the two worlds about which I'm most passionate.
I was born in New York, grew up in Los Angeles, and am now based in Northport, Maine. I work for clients in the US and internationally.
