I’m an American editor
based in Prague since 2017.
For sixteen years I've edited scholarly and trade nonfiction — copyediting and proofreading books, journals, and manuscripts for university presses, research institutes, and international publishers.
My Work
I copyedit for Charles University's Karolinum Press and the Czech Academy of Sciences, and have done book work for Penguin Random House and Hachette. My institutional editing includes publications for Prague Castle and the Czech Senate, as well as the closing presentation of the Czech Republic's 2022 EU Council Presidency, prepared for European heads of state.
Much of my work is bringing the writing of non-native English authors to a clean, idiomatic, publication-ready standard, across the humanities, social sciences, and medicine. I work in Chicago and to client house styles, with Word track changes and PDF proofs, and I'm meticulous with scholarly apparatus, consistency, and deadlines.
My Background
I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Montana and a BA in English from the University of Texas at Austin, and I have literary representation with Transatlantic Agency. Alongside my editorial work I keep a serious contemplative practice, and I edit extensively for contemplative and faith-based publishers — work that draws on the same care for precision and for the source.
