Editing & Refinement

For writers who already have substantial material on the page, I offer editing at several levels—from developmental consultation on the argument and structure of a piece to detailed attention to paragraphs, sentences, diction, grammar, style, and mechanics.

I tailor the level of work to the writer and the project, and, where appropriate, explain significant edits so that the process remains collaborative rather than one-sided.

Together, we might work on:

• large-scale rethinking,

• tightening an already strong draft

• clarification

• smoother transitions

• greater stylistic consistency

• careful line editing before submission
