About me
I am a full-time freelance editor. Since 2004, I have proofread and edited novels, short stories, memoirs, and nonfiction books, in addition to web copy, brochures, magazine articles, legal documents, dissertations, and graduate school application essays. I have worked as managing editor of ZYZZYVA, as copy editor for Opium, and as proofreader for Tin House Books; currently, my freelance clients include Rutberg Media, SUTTON PR, and Third Eye Advisory Services.
I was born in New York City and grew up in the Los Angeles area. I graduated from Pomona College with a degree in English/creative writing and attended the master's program in fiction writing at the University of California, Davis. After leaving Davis, I moved to New York City, where I worked as the proclamations writer for Mayor Bloomberg. I have studied with Amy Einsohn, author of The Copyeditor's Handbook, official textbook of UC Berkeley continuing education courses, and I am familiar with the MLA, APA, and Chicago manuals of style.
I also write fiction. My short stories have appeared in literary magazines including Faultline, Alaska Quarterly Review, and Fiction. In 2008 I was a finalist in Opium's bookmark contest, judged by Aimee Bender. I live in Northport, Maine, and am working on a novel.
