Style Expertise
Many publishers ask that manuscripts comply with a specific set of style guidelines. I am proficient in both the Chicago Manual of Style and the Associated Press Stylebook (AP).
I pride myself on knowing the rules, but I also know when to bend them for effect or readability, tailoring the editing to each client's particular project type and writing style.
