FAQs

If you’re unsure whether you need structural help or sentence-level refinement, we can talk through it together. I’ll review a sample of your writing, ask about your goals, and recommend the level of editing that will make the biggest difference without overdoing it.
No, that is unless that is your goal. Every edit is made with respect to the tone already provided. Whether I’m restructuring paragraphs or polishing sentences, the goal is to make your work sound clearer and more confident, not different. You always have full control over accepting or rejecting changes.
Yes. Many clients choose a combination, like a Structural Review paired with a Line Edit Polish. Editing is flexible, and we’ll tailor the work to what your piece needs most. You never have to fit your project into one strict category.
Absolutely. With my background in conservation, literary criticism, and academic editing, I can help translate complex, research-driven writing into something that still feels accurate but far more readable. You won’t lose nuance. You’ll just lose the clutter.
