Hi there - and thanks for visiting my 'about me' page. I founded Sharper Quill to take advantage of some tremendously valuable talent from a select group of freelancers and professionals. I have selected a few works that I have contributed to over the years, along with samples and references, so that you can get to know me a little better before you trust me with your work.
On this page I present select titles and samples that demonstrate my wide experience in every service I offer: consulting, ghostwriting, developmental and general editing, copyediting, proofreading, proposal writing, and interior book design. These titles also show that I have worked for a wide variety of publishers, literary agencies, and authors, covering a diverse cross-section of fiction and non-fiction.
I specialize in helping authors develop their drafts into manuscripts that are attractive to publishers. Part of this process is my signature edit, which is a deep line edit and proofread designed to give authors first class feedback on their work and how to improve it. I also serve as a writing coach, partnering with authors from draft to publication, offering a full range of professional writing tools.
I have experience editing and proofreading resume/cover letters, university catalogs, academic journal articles, dissertations, books, academic research papers of all levels and in both APA and Chicago style.
