Services

I offer editing and content support for both authors and organizations. Whether you're shaping a novel, clarifying a memoir, or building out marketing assets, my work is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to your goals.

Editing for authors

Developmental editing

Big-picture feedback on structure, pacing, character arcs, voice, and thematic clarity. Ideal for early drafts or major revisions.

Structural editing

Focused analysis of flow, organization, and chapter-level transitions. Often a helpful second pass after developmental work.

Line editing

Sentence-level polish that enhances tone, rhythm, clarity, and voice—without changing your intent.

Copyediting

Attention to grammar, syntax, usage, and consistency, following The Chicago Manual of Style or The Associated Press Stylebook.

Proofreading

A final check for surface-level errors in punctuation, spelling, and formatting before submission or publication.

Corporate and nonprofit communications

Strategic messaging and content development

Messaging frameworks, brand narratives, and campaign content to support positioning and communication goals.

Editorial project management

Coordination across teams and stakeholders to guide content from planning through final review.

Content editing and writing

Sales collateral, executive communications, newsletters, web copy, video scripts, training materials, and more.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Laura van Dernoot Lipsky
Founder of The Trauma Stewardship Institute and author of Trauma Stewardship and The Age of Overwhelm

"I have had the tremendous privilege of working with Julie on both my book and new website. Having been accused (occasionally) of being exacting, one can imagine how important quality editing is to me. Julie’s work was beyond even my highest expectations. She is incredibly knowledgeable, extremely skillful, consistently efficient with her time, and always brings a truly keen eye. She remains one of the kindest and most generous people I’ve ever met. And, importantly, her wonderful sense of humor adds to the overall abiding joy of getting to work with her."
