Proofreading and Editing services
Hello!Thoughtful editing, grounded in language, teaching, and books
As the owner of The BiblioPub, I care about how readers experience language, what flows, what confuses, and what keeps someone turning the page. I’ve spent my career immersed in language and learning, from earning a Bachelor’s in Linguistics and a Master’s in Education (ESL), to teaching adults and students with diverse learning needs, and now creating a community through a bookstore. I bring all of that experience to helping authors make their writing clear, polished, and true to their voice through my editing and proofreading services.
