Editing
I love editing. I love sitting with a text and working to make it the best it can be. While it is impossible to list all of the types of texts I have edited in thirty years, I can say that it has ranged from dissertations to sermons to a book about aliens. I am committed to helping my clients find their voice – I do not impose my own voice on your work.

What people are saying…
I am thrilled to provide a testimonial for Colleen. Her efficiency and strong communication skills make her an outstanding editor. Colleen has been outstanding at supporting my ministry with over 15 years of editing my writings and sermons. Her ability to consistently meet deadlines and deliver work of the highest quality is second to none. Colleen is exceptional at clarifying expectations, and managing feedback, making her a valuable asset to any team.

Colleen has done the sensitivity readings for all of my books over the past ten years. She has an uncanny ability to understand specialized content and then to support the author to make their unique perspective available to and inclusive of a broader audience. She has also helped me craft a subject position statement appropriate to different types of writing. I’ve learned many new things every time I’ve worked with Colleen. Best money an author can spend in my opinion!
