When I copy edit your work, I ensure that your text is free of errors and inconsistencies and that it adheres to in-house styling. Most importantly, I do that in a way that preserves your writing style so your voice is never lost, only enhanced.

I have provided copy editing services for university presses in Canada and the United States. I have also worked with a variety of organizations to help ensure that their publications, projects, and websites are free of errors and easy to understand.
