Editing needs vary.

Sometimes, your content needs substantive editing (or even help rewriting), but other times, it needs only a surface-level copy-edit. Writers often are too close to their content to notice spots that are unclear or that would be better reworded. I can help clarify and polish your content so that your message gets across easily.

I have spent most of my career editing magazine content. I also have experience editing books, articles, reports, blog posts, and communications, much of it for associations and universities.

Here are some examples of content I have edited:

Books:

Prairie Up: An Introduction to Natural Garden Design, by Benjamin Vogt, University of Illinois Press

Disconnected, by Debbie J. Goldman, University of Illinois Press

The Geography of Hate, by Jennifer Sdunzik, University of Illinois Press

Playful Protest, by Kristie Soares, University of Illinois Press
