tell me more
Clear, correct, concise, consistent, and complete text will reach your audience more effectively. With my help, scholarly and academic authors and publishers achieve this result. Whether you are a university professor needing a professional to ensure that your complex text adheres to the style required by your publisher, a publishing house looking for an experienced editor with expertise in scholarly apparatus, or a business professional wishing to polish up a proposal, I have the skills and knowledge necessary to make your work look and read its best. ​​

What I Can Do for Your Writing

I can help you with your writing or publishing project from beginning to end: translating non-English text in specific languages; editing your nonfiction text to make it publication ready; proofreading your printed page proofs against the final manuscript; and finally, writing a back-of-book index for your content.

Editing

Every writing project is unique and requires different levels of editing. Once you have written your manuscript, I can offer copy, stylistic, and structural/substantive editing based on your needs.

Indexing

Back-of-book indexing is a complex process that many publishers require their authors to do at the end of the publishing process - usually within the same time frame as proofreading. You will want to leave this job to a professional.

HIGHLY POLISHED FINISHED PRODUCT
There is no doubt that Carla's superb copyediting skills greatly improved the overall work, and I feel confident in a highly polished finished product. She was pleasant to work with, and always prompt and thorough in correspondence. I hope to have the chance to work with her again in the future.

​THOROUGHNESS, OBVIOUS PROFICIENCY​​
It has indeed been a pleasure to enjoy your thoroughness, obvious proficiency in the several languages used in my text, attention to the smallest detail, and intelligent reading of my text. I cannot recall one single issue on which I disagreed with your suggestions.
