About Me

I have been editing, evaluating, and revising corporate materials in a professional capacity since 2006. Additionally, my professional roles have encompassed project management, marketing, customer service, and operations.

As a lifelong student of literature, my passion for the written word has developed into one of my defining characteristics. Here at Word Cat Editorial Services, I gather inspiration from a creature whose every step combines balance and deliberation. 

My editing starts with a love of words and with the joy of being a reader, but it is shaped by the practical needs of author and publisher, budget and time.
