Hi, I’m Theresa.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and completed my editorial training through Berkeley University. I’m also a proud member of the Editorial Freelancer’s Association. Before starting my own business, I spent years teaching literature and grammar.
As a copy editor, I help clients refine their writing and prepare their manuscripts for publication. I enjoy working behind the scenes and helping authors reach their goals. My editing philosophy is simple.
A good editor is invisible. I’m committed to bringing out the very best in your work while preserving your voice and writing style.
I know how nerve wracking it can be to share your writing with a stranger. I’m not here to criticize your work or judge you. My job is to create the best book possible out of your manuscript, not to change your message.
I’ll help make your writing rich, clear, and engaging. I have been editing for almost ten years. I work with the Chicago Manual of Style, APA style, and MLA Style. I edit books, short stories, dissertations, theses, blog posts, and websites.
So, what do I do when I’m not moving commas? Like most writers and editors, I have been in love with the written word since childhood. I love reading and adding new treasures to my home library. You can often find me scouring bookstores for antique, rare, and out of print books. I love coffee, the outdoors, and the Oxford comma. I also have a small obsession with Mary Oliver.
Contact me today to see if I can be of help to you. I can’t wait to be a part of your journey.
