Why I became an editor
Raised by a novelist, I learned to enjoy the editing process at a young age. Later, my legal career provided me with many opportunities to scrutinize the written word.
A polished document makes a persuasive document. I enjoy helping others polish their work.
Background and experience
I have written briefs and motions for trial and appellate courts. Additionally, I have edited the briefs and motions of other lawyers. I have edited resumes and cover letters of many colleagues and friends.
Why I love proofreading and editing
I love seeing the document improve during the proofreading process. I enjoy how the ideas shine through on a well-polished paper.
Favorite book:
The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. I read this book as a child. I learned that I enjoyed historical fiction.
Hobbies:
When I am not proofreading, I like to hike, watch football, read, and play video and board games.
Editing tips:
Before I begin, I shut off any distractions.
