Hello Samantha,

Thank you for getting in touch with me--I'm glad you found my bio impressive, and I hope we might be able to work together soon!

As far as the most important aspects of editing non-fiction goes, I think the main thing is to interpret what the author is trying to say and find the best way to present that idea without confusion. Generally, sentences need to be shortened and vocabulary needs to be used carefully and with mindfulness. Clarifying referents (for words like "it") tends to help clarify sentences overall, and when the sentences make sense they usually expose whether or not the author has a clear sense of what she wants to communicate...

I'm not positive if that answers your question fully, and I don't feel comfortable providing samples because I'd rather not share my previous clients' unedited and/or unpublished work, but hopefully I've given you enough of a sense of my editing philosophy for you to make a decision about hiring me for future work. I look forward to hearing from you!
