Experienced, versatile, reliable

I’ve been working with words my whole life. I got my professional start in book publishing, learning the basics of proofreading, copyediting, digital typesetting, and project management while working for a boutique publishing services company. As an editorial consultant, I’ve worked with a wide variety of university presses, scholarly journals, trade publishers, print magazines, nonprofit organizations, and independent authors and scholars.

I love helping my clients produce clean, clear, readable, and engaging prose, whether it’s a book-length treatise on science and technology studies, a white paper on transportation pricing, an online help portal, or an annual report.

I live with my family in San Francisco, where I love to go on urban hikes, eat burritos, and explore secondhand bookstores.

Specialties:

• scholarly nonfiction (journal articles and book-length manuscripts)

• nonprofit communications (including annual reports, white papers, brochures, resource guides)

• multiauthor/edited volumes

• anthropology and archaeology

• public policy, especially transportation, urbanism, and public health

• architecture and urbanism

• feminism and gender studies

• Alaska/arctic studies

• Inclusive/conscious language
