Copyediting

If you care about clear, compelling, and grammatically accurate communication, you’re speaking my language; if you’re looking for sharp, thoughtful, and precise editing, you’re in the right place.

I bring a lifelong passion for language, paired with deep experience in both formal and informal writing contexts.

I’m a lifelong writing nerd with a sharp editorial eye. I graduated from UCLA School of Law, earned a philosophy certification through a rigorous extracurricular program, and have spent much of my career helping companies and individuals refine their written communication. At tech companies like Amazon, Twitter, Autodesk, Ookla, and Renaissance Periodization, I’ve often found myself jumping in to write or edit technical documentation, customer-facing messaging, and internal content, even when it wasn’t in my official job description.

Whether it’s technical writing, marketing copy, or high-stakes documents like grant proposals or résumés, I take pride in precision, clarity, and tone. My friends and colleagues will tell you I’m a bit persnickety about language–and they’ll also tell you that’s a feature, not a bug.

What I Offer

  • Copyediting: grammar, punctuation, word choice, clarity, and style consistency
  • Line Editing: sentence-level improvements for tone, flow, and readability
  • Structural Feedback: suggestions for improving organization and impact
  • Collaborative Rewriting: help refining your own drafts while maintaining your voice
  • Specialized Content Support: experience with technical, academic, marketing, and product documentation

If you’re looking for someone who obsesses over em-dashes, serial commas, and dangling modifiers and can help you to make your writing well structured, clear, and coherent–I’m your guy.

Let’s make your writing shine.

Pricing

Copyediting projects are billed based on word count and editing depth. Rates start at

  • $0.05 per word for light editing (grammar, punctuation, clarity)
  • $0.10 per word for more involved editing (tone, structure, stylistic improvement)
  • $0.15+ per word for substantive, developmental editing (revisions to argument flow, clarity of ideas, and overall structure)

Minimum project fee: $100

If you’re not sure what level of editing you need, send me a short sample, and I’ll assess it and provide a quotation.

Do you need something else that’s thematically related, like help with actually writing documents or reviewing grant proposals? Feel free to inquire, and let’s find out if I can help!
