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.

Before I begin, I shut off any distractions.
