PCPA Freelance Members

As a life-long United Methodist, I am delighted to write and edit Christian material. While I am happy to work from any step in the editorial process, I typically offer creative writing, copyediting, and proofreading services. The Bible itself is the inspiration for my work. It is a brilliant library filled with diverse genres, perspectives, and, yes—edits! I, like my predecessors, love to edit a variety of genres. From devotionals to commentaries, I work with it all.

Editor Bio: In undergrad, I studied intercultural studies (missions) and creative writing at Trevecca Nazarene University. Afterward, I spent a bit of time in seminary at Perkins School of Theology before realizing God called me to editing. These days, I’m working on my editing certificate at the University of Chicago, taking long walks with my dog, and leading the young adult group and mission committee at my church.

I am a senior-level operations and technology executive and advisor specializing in helping publishers and education technology companies re-align their organizations, processes, and technology to address disruptions to their markets, products, and business models.

I drive transformative change in product development, go-to-market, and supply chain operations by building strong, customer-focused teams supported by flexible, lean processes, proven enterprise technology, metrics, and advanced analytical methods.

I do this by utilizing cross-industry best practices to develop a cohesive vision that resonates with the values and ambitions of individuals in the organization and aligns them with company objectives.

After 17 years in the nonprofit sector, I transitioned to freelance copyediting. I specialize in nonfiction with an emphasis on Christianity. I have been immersed in the mainline Protestant tradition my entire life, so I speak the language. And thanks to some of my editing clients, I have become well-versed in theology and ethics.

I will happily correct errors in spelling, grammar, word choice, and punctuation. I delight in making suggestions to improve clarity and flow. My editing superpower is noticing overused words, phrases, and constructions. I will ensure consistency (internally and according to your particular style guide) and do fact-checking.

Besides book manuscripts, I also offer administrative support. I am proficient with spreadsheets and data entry. I enjoy the variety of one-off projects, such as migrating data to a new system. I’d be happy to review articles, web copy, letters, you name it. Also, I read music and have sung in choirs most of my life, which could be useful for music publishers.

Finally, I am expanding into indexing! I’m taking indexing courses and have written two indexes for religion books.

I work on several sides of the editorial and production processes, providing proofreading, copyediting, and more generalized editorial work for books on a wide variety of topics in religious and academic publishing.

I have working proficiency in academic Latin and German and am currently studying biblical Hebrew also. I work with both Catholic and Protestant publishers, as well as with independent authors and academics.
