Like most editors, I've always been an avid reader. You don't get into this field without having a deep love for books! I grew up with parents who were book lovers, had an extensive library, and read to me frequently, even after I was perfectly capable of reading to myself. I was the person with a rotating stack of books on my nightstand, always had an 'emergency' book (or two) in her purse or backpack and who spent her allowance building a beautiful collection of classic literature.
Editing is something I've wanted to do for many years and always believed I would be good at. It turns out, I was right! And I feel extremely blessed to be doing something I love. I take great joy in consuming stories, hunting for and finding grammatical and punctuation errors, polishing sentences and helping someone's work become the best version of itself it possibly can be while keeping the author's authentic voice.
