Thorough, responsive proofreading expert with over 15 years of experience supporting the business and marketing needs of a variety of organizations by providing accurate, error-free copy. Self-motivated team player with impeccable attention to detail and an emphasis on quality, consistency, and continuity in messaging. Collaborative editor skilled at helping others amplify and share their voice. Strong ability to prioritize and multitask in fast-paced, high-volume environments.

No matter where you are in the writing process, I can help! I offer manuscript reading, copyediting, and proofreading for juvenile, young adult, and adult fiction novels of all genres. I also offer all-inclusive short story editing. I am willing to do partial edits to accommodate all budgets and charge by word count.

I admire so much what writers do—their creativity in conjuring up narratives, their skill in wrestling that story into words on a page. I am here to champion your work. You tell me what you need for your text, what you want it to be, and I listen. I look at your project with that vision in mind and help you achieve it. Sometimes that’s smoothing out tangled branches of sentences. Sometimes it’s solving thorny story problems. Whether your goal is to self-publish or seek traditional publication, I want you to feel confident that your piece is the best it can be.

I have nearly 20 years of experience documenting processes, writing and editing technical instructions and pitch decks, and communicating with clients, partners, and field teams in a business environment. For the past two and a half years I have been writing executive branding packages (résumés, cover letters, optimized LinkedIn profiles, and short professional biographies) for executives across industries and functions, from Fortune 100 companies to startups. I have been described as “the glue that holds the team together” and am someone people seek out to create, review, and edit effective communications.

Herr’s Indexing Service was established in 1944 by my mother, Betty Herr. I joined her in the business on a full-time basis in 1977.

A nonfiction editor with diverse strengths and interests, I’m experienced with non-native English-speaking authors and in penning persuasive essays. My bent for written advocacy also showed in a development internship.
