A Chicago-style Editor, Creative Nonfiction

Precise, clear edits with a personal touch that prepare your manuscript for the next step

Our Services

  • Your manuscript is finished and is ready for an editor’s eye. A copy edit aligns your book to the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th ed. guidelines (this includes formatting, mechanical issues, grammatical preferences, citation checks, etc.)

  • Similar to the Copy Edit, but more in-depth; continuity issues, developmental issues, and specific questions about the manuscript are addressed and worked through between editor and author.

  • Editorial feedback, in the form of an Editorial Letter, is sent after a full reading of your manuscript. No editing is done at this stage, but I may recommend line or copy edits with high-level revision suggestions.
