In 2025, I completed an anonymous, professionally-assessed editing exam. My copy editing skills were described as follows:
"This editor is equally comfortable in the genre fiction and the expository piece with its mechanical challenges—the copy edit was done confidently, accurately, and intelligently."
My structural and stylistic editing skills were described as follows:
"The edit shows confidence and judgement, and probably a solid amount of experience as well."
If you are reading this, you are looking for confident, intelligent, experienced editing services. I am here to provide that for fiction and creative nonfiction writers; solopreneurs, small businesses, and dispensers of wisdom; and academics.
