My Editing

typekeys.jpg

Most of the texts I've edited are books, and most of them fall into the category of adult nonfiction. But I've also edited fiction, and material written for children. And I've edited book proposals, articles, brochures, dissertations, other printed materials, and copy written for the Web.

Here are some of the book titles I've worked on as an editor, copy editor, or "proofreader plus."
