What are your needs?
You have a manuscript, essay, or other text that needs polishing:
I can copy edit your work.
Copyediting ranges widely, from a “light” or mechanical copy edit that focuses on grammar and spelling errors all the way to a “heavy” copy edit with substantive changes and help with organization.
After learning about your text and doing a sample edit, I am committed to finding, then executing, the right level of copyediting for you.
You have a personal or family story you want to share:
It is my privilege to help weave a narrative or put existing pieces together.
My personal historian work draws on my experiences with historical research, museums, and archives. I offer many services: organizing your precious documents for family use, interviewing you or a relative, transcribing existing audio or video, and much more.
You’ve written something and want another set of eyes on the facts:
I would love to double check it!
Not all writers have time for fact-checking. That’s where I come in. Works of both fiction and nonfiction can benefit from an outside editor’s eye toward dates, events, people, and more. Thanks to my research skills and training in history, I am eager to enhance the accuracy of your copy.
What will it cost?
Every editorial job is completely different, and the project fee or rate differs depending on the content, format, and service provided.

What elevates Julia beyond any editor with whom I've ever worked is not merely her off the charts attention to detail, but the heart she applies to her craft. Julia loves the written word, and thus recognizes and honors tone; rendering wings to each phrase, sentence and passage. -Paul R.
