While copyediting, I correct or query errors in spelling, grammar, usage, punctuation, and formatting; query or delete unnecessary copy; confirm addresses, personal names, URLs, and phone numbers via Internet research; and ensure style consistencies of capitalization, hyphenation, abbreviations, lists, numbers, and typefaces.

Recent copyediting project: Health+Beauty Magazine

During proofreading, typos, misspellings, formatting inconsistencies, and major gaffes in grammar are corrected. Copy or a proof is read against its previous version, or a cold read is done using only the copy itself.

Web and print copywriting, corporate communications, and business writing (including bios/profiles) for individuals and companies.

Recent copywriting project: Styled by Beth (portfolio for interior designer)

As an editor and a writer, I help individuals and businesses create clear, compelling websites, magazines, books, corporate communications, and advertising materials.

During my ten years of editorial experience, I've worked as an assistant editor at a trade magazine, a copy editor for consumer magazines, and a senior editor in advertising. I have a BA in Communication Arts (Writing Concentration) and a Certificate in Screenwriting from the UCLA Professional Program, and I'm a member of the American Copy Editors Society (ACES).
