About

I have been providing freelance indexing, copyediting, cold reading, and proofreading services since 2010 (full-time since 2018), which, at the time of this page update, includes 534 books. For a list of books that I’ve worked on please contact me.

I am very experienced with the Chicago Manual of Style, and have completed a graduate degree certificate program in editing from the Graham School of the University of Chicago.
