Developmental editors help writers effectively communicate their ideas. I work primarily with academic authors in the humanities and social sciences who write about history, architectural history, or urban studies. My experience as a graduate advisor influences my approach to developmental editing, and I incorporate elements of writing coaching to foster a supportive relationship that motivates writers to do their best work.

I edit projects of all sizes, including proposals, book and article manuscripts, and grant and fellowship applications. Our work together can begin at any stage from initial concept to fully drafted manuscript. My services are customized to individual client goals and work habits and typically involve detailed written feedback and Zoom check-ins at regular intervals.

I do not provide indexing or copyediting services, but I am happy to make referrals to colleagues who do.

I bill hourly or as a flat rate, depending on the nature of our work together. My rates are determined by a project’s scope and complexity.

Please email me to discuss your project. I do not charge for initial consultations.
