Editing

I’ve been freelance copy editing and proofreading since 2001. I primarily work on academic and scholarly nonfiction, though I’ve also edited such things as a master’s degree thesis, a TV show proposal, and numerous newsletters. This work satisfies my inner Virgo, and finally gives me a job that makes use of my BA in English Literature after many years of toiling in the health insurance industry.

I’ve been volunteer editing for the Wikipedia League of Copyeditors and Project Gutenberg for several years. I truly enjoy using the skills I have and doing the work I love to contribute to these worthy projects.

Some recent projects I’ve edited:

On the Field of Mercy: Women Medical Volunteers in American Wars (Prometheus Press)
Contemporary Ethical Issues: A Personalistic Perspective, (Prometheus Press)
You’re Not the Boss of Me: Understanding the Six/Seven-Year-Old Transformation ( Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America [WECAN])
Gateways newsletter, Autumn 2007, Winter 2007, Spring 2008 (WECAN)
Embodiments of Power: Building Baroque Cities in Europe (Berghahn Books)
Struggling for Recognition: The Alevi Movement in Germany and in Transnational Space (Berghahn Books)
