Hi, I’m Nicole.
I’m a copyeditor and proofreader with more than fifteen years of experience.
I support authors of children’s, young adult, and adult fiction and nonfiction titles at some of the largest publishers in the country. Publishing houses return to me for my detailed copyediting and proofreading services.
Some of my clients include Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, Macmillan Children’s, University of Pittsburgh Press,
and University of Iowa Press.
Here are a few of my favorite projects I’ve worked on!
“We are fortunate to have had Nicole on our roster of freelancers for years. Her editing is thorough; she has a kind, professional, and judicious querying style that helps our authors make sense of the copyedit review process; and her style sheets are a thing of beauty. I’m always pleased to be able to place a manuscript with Nicole, because I have complete trust in her to do excellent work.”
—Amy Sherman, Managing Editor
University of Pittsburgh Press
“Nicole has demonstrated the essential skills I look for in a freelance copy editor: a solid knowledge of grammar, spelling, and usage; an ability to improve clarity and consistency while maintaining tone and voice; and the all-important attention to detail and accuracy. Her ability to take on an assignment and hit the ground running inspires confidence that your project is in capable hands.”
—Barbara Bakowski, senior copy editor, Random House Children’s Books
and former copy chief, Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
