Bringing you common-sense editing

Welcome! At Comma Sense, you will get more than an editor who crosses the T's and dots the I's. Any editor should provide the 4 C's of copyediting: clarity, correctness, coherency, and consistency. I also provide common sense. In other words, does this work as it is written?
I also bring 27 years of experience as a newspaper and freelance editor, with sound instincts honed throughout the years.
Why an editor? You may have read and reread your manuscript a dozen, a hundred, times even. But as the author, your eye may skip over missing words, since you know what you meant. You may also be too close to your work to be objective. As an editor, I can pick up on repetitions, inconsistencies, holes in the story, wordiness, and other problems that a writer may have overlooked.
My aim is to keep your voice as a writer, while making it clearer and stronger. My services include everything from a light editing to more substantive rewriting and reshaping of the manuscript.
Good editing enhances good writing, and I hope to provide you with a final manuscript that not only will be error-free, but will be compelling writing. The goal, after all, is to help you achieve your goals.
