I've been an editor at two major publishers as well as a literary agent, and have copyedited, proofread, and substantively edited everything from nonfiction proposals to novels to screenplays to press releases.
"Incidentally, you're background is why I chose your services. No one on editfast even comes close. So, attached is my novel. Give me your estimate. It's already a pleasure working with you."

"Your work is superb. That is the only way I can describe my impression of what you did, after reviewing the returned copy of my novel. From the very first page (even the title page) to the last, errors were highlighted and corrections suggested in a way which makes it easy to fix problems which I never would have caught. But most of all, your comments pointed out issues in the book which only a professional could have noticed, giving me the opportunity to bring my story to its full potential. Having previously had other "editors," on earlier projects, I know the look of amateurish work. It was a real pleasure to see what a true editor can accomplish."

Profile
I have edited a wide array of material in my varied career. Currently I am a production editor overseeing copyediting and proofreading at one of the most prestigious book publishers in the U.S., Farrar, Straus and Giroux. In the past I have worked in academic publishing at McGraw-Hill, and represented screenwriters, novelists, and nonfiction authors as an agent. My editorial skills are meticulous and intelligent. I would love the chance to help you make your work the best it can be, whether it is a one-page press release, a nonfiction book proposal, an academic article or paper, or a 600-page novel.
