About

I’m an accomplished writer/editor who has been in the business for over 15 years. I have vast experience editing non-fiction and fiction manuscripts, book proposals, academic papers, news and feature articles, newsletters, business cases, and marketing collateral. My editing skills run the gamut, including ensuring the structure, content, language, and style of the manuscript is suitable for the intended audience, as well as improving the readability and clarity of the content by ensuring it is formatted properly and free of factual inaccuracies, grammar/punctuation errors, omissions, inconsistencies and repetition. I’ve written news and feature articles; emails; video scripts; print, digital and radio ads; direct mail; web pages; press releases; annual reports; newsletters; view books, social media posts; blogs; brochures; flyers; brand guidelines; business cases; and marketing communications plans. The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition is my sole reference when editing manuscripts, book proposals, and academic papers. When writing or editing news or feature articles and marketing collateral, I follow AP style.

This is a two-part answer: (1) background; and (2) how I was able to use Eva's services recently. My history with Eva goes back 13+ years. She and I were employed at the same place for several years and worked very closely together on projects. She became my go-to because of her well-thought-out, strategic and cool-as-a-cucumber approach to jobs and projects. Writing assignments of all types were a large part of our job and, as every writer knows, we all need an editor. Eva became my editor. I was then -- and remain so now -- very impressed by her ability (gift, really) to edit to whatever style is needed (I follow AP) and to efficiently dissect content to ensure it flows and remains interesting. Without fail, she has always improved my writing in ways that I would not have been able to do myself. Fast forward to recently. I was in an unexpected bind and needed to draft a feature story. I very quickly realized that with all the other moving parts to the project, I would not have time to do it. There were four people I could have tapped to write it, but I immediately went to Eva. I needed someone with a strong journalism background who I knew that: (1) I could communicate the goal of the piece to and they would quickly "get it"; (2) is an experienced interviewer and would extract the "heart" of the story that I knew was there; (3) could turn it around quickly (because her efficiency allows her to take on multiple jobs at once); (4) would be open to all of my feedback on the draft and open to negotiating revisions (BTW, I had no revisions); and (5) would, simply, provide a final product that everyone on the project could be proud of. The final piece was exceptional, and was accepted by the newspaper with not a single revision on their end. The sidebar idea that Eva proposed to me was very different than the one I envisioned, but it was better -- so much so that the editors went over their word count in order to include it. Eva made this project easy for me. I had so many other wheels turning at that time, and Eva was the person I knew I could count on to take it on for me. I highly recommend her. Her skill set is amazing.

Eva did an editing project for me on a non-fiction book proposal I put together. As a new writer, I really appreciate her attention to detail and her extensive knowledge of AP style along with her clear understanding of what makes a story compelling. I totally trust her comments and edits and feel assured that she improved my final product tremendously. Wonderful partner and happy to have had her insights!
