Say what you mean.
Mean what you say.
WHAT DO YOUR WORDS SAY ABOUT YOU?
Communication is a vital part of any occupation. What you say and how you say it can make all the difference. Whether it's a business proposal, an academic textbook, a novel or an instruction manual - clear, concise, and organized language sets apart the professional from the dilettante.
This is where the editor comes in. Making sure it's correct, readable, and understandable. Making sure your words convey exactly what you mean to say. Making you look smart.
ABOUT ME
English was always my best subject in school. I credit my first English teacher, Mr. Gasque, with turning me into a grammar pedant, what with his exacting expectations and sharp reprimands. While he and others considered me a gifted writer, I’ve always felt my greatest strength is in the fixing, the tweaking … the polishing of the written word.
Throughout my career, I have used these skills in business communications, reports, curriculum guides, advertising copy, and the publication of eleven titles for various authors. For the past eight years, I have been president and chief editor of my own publishing company, Pamlico & Albemarle, where I oversee each project from editing to formatting to printing and distribution.

I specialize in basic copy editing – checking for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors, and consistency – as well as substantive line editing – transforming rough copy into readable, organized text. I can meet a deadline, working quickly and carefully with an attention to detail and knowledge of not only the rules of the English language but also when to bend the rules for a comfortable, conversational tone when it's called for. I can make your voice more clear, more intelligible, and more digestible, while keeping it uniquely yours.
