My editing philosophy is simple: Make the writer look good. I edit from the reader's viewpoint, helping the reader clearly understand what the writer wants to convey. Equally important, however, is preserving the writer's voice. To me, editing is like a buffing cloth that polishes the writer's work until it shines. I am adept at editing book manuscripts (fiction and nonfiction), academic and professional articles, essays, newsletters, brochures, Web content, advertising and marketing copy, and student study guides and online courses. I specialize in such nonfiction book topics as alternative and New Age health therapies, general health and nutrition, education, parenting, self-help, and personal memoirs. I also have vast experience editing fiction manuscripts, including children's and juvenile, historical, contemporary, romance, mystery, horror, and science fiction. It's a sad fact that all too often, potentially great writing remains mediocre (or worse) because of problems with grammar or punctuation, factual or logical inconsistencies, or verbose or inelegant wording. I can help you fix these problems, because as a professional editor,I know exactly what to change and what to leave alone.

asked for editing not comments all over. It's so fraustating. 4 years with edit avenue and lots and lots of projects, this is a second disatisfaction. Free sample was super but the coplete projest is a complete disaster filled with typo errors and repeated words and present tense still mixed with past and whole lot of anoying questions by editor. I am so disapointed and have to no chpice but to pass job to another editor
