Copyeditor

I’m a full-time BELS-certified freelance copyeditor in the scientific, technical, and medical industry. I specialize in journal copy, and I have particular expertise in the following topics: oncology, rehabilitation, sports medicine, infectious diseases, and transplantation. I edit books for several university presses on a wide range of general- and special-interest topics, such as war and presidential studies, critical theory, and fossils.

Acafan

My PhD is in English from the University of Kansas, where I studied science fiction literature with Professor Emeritus James Gunn. I have authored two books and a number of articles and have coedited two books, with a third, a reprint anthology, in press. Most of my work is service within the fan and SF scholarly communities, usually focusing on project management and book or journal production.
