To date, I have edited more than 400 novels, nonfiction books, and novellas. Several books have gone on to win awards and/or become best sellers. Breakout Editing clients publish their novels, nonfiction, memoirs, and novellas knowing they offer their readers the highest-quality reading experience. An experienced and skilled editor, I offer detail-oriented editing that instills authors and publishers with confidence. Breakout Editing provides fiction and nonfiction services—content editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. I enjoy working with indie authors, and I also edit for Kregel Publications. I previously served as managing editor and managing typesetter for a hybrid press for nearly five years. After an award-winning journalism career, I now freelance edit (and write) full time. As a freelance writer, I've been published in multiple national and local publications. I also serve on the Northwest Christian Writers Association board and speak at writers' and editors' conferences nationwide. That's my story—I'd love to hear yours!
