Portfolio

Just a few things I’ve worked on…

Over 20 years of editing experience means I’ve worked on just about everything—from Fortune 500 marketing campaigns to debut novels, pharmaceutical content to music magazine reviews. This portfolio represents the variety of content I’ve polished, formatted, and helped publish across industries and formats.

Whether it’s a high-stakes business proposal, a thought leadership article, or a manuscript headed for traditional publishing, every project gets the same attention to detail and strategic thinking.

The samples below span different content types and industries to give you a sense of my range. Most are provided as PDFs due to changing or disappearing source sites, but they represent real work for real clients—from major brands like Mercedes-Benz and King’s Hawaiian to independent authors and growing businesses.

Looking for something specific that’s not represented here? More samples are coming (including more formatting/design work). In the meantime, just let me know.

News & Magazine Editing

I’ve edited a variety of print and online publications, ranging from line edits, copy edits, editorial selection, and proofreading. I’ve also worked the news desk for a digital media company, managed brand campaigns and live events, and edited hundreds of thousands of words for huge tech companies, individual consultants, and everything in between.

Long-Form Editing

I’ve edited novels, nonfiction, novellas, journals, and vignettes. This includes primarily developmental editing, copy editing, and proofreading, though I’ve also done beta reading. Two novels have been published through traditional publishers (and sold to Hollywood studios—one film was produced in 2020 & the other will be in production TBD), many have been self-published, and others are seeking publishers. Works include nonfiction, mystery, crime, fantasy, romance, and historical fiction for adult, YA, and middle-grade audiences.
