EDITING BY NORTH STAR
Freelance copyediting and Beta Reading
Specializing in nonfiction, narrative nonfiction, creative nonfiction, anthologies, and poetry chapbooks.
Copyediting services available for corporate and nonprofit publications.
Welcome! Thank you for stopping by my site. Over the past decade, I founded, edited, and published a regional literary collection titled Walloon Writers Review. In 2025, I started offering copyediting services to authors. While I have a lot of editing experience in self-publishing, copyediting as a primary focus is new! So far, I have edited a memoir-based creative nonfiction book, two poetry chapbooks, a memoir journal, and a few short article-length pieces. Inspired, I made it official!
Editing by North Star (North Star Editing, LLC-A Michigan Limited Liability Corporation) is now welcoming new clients!
To stay up to date with the latest guidance, I am currently working toward a Certificate in Editing at University of Chicago Graham School of Professional Development. I participate in workshops, regional writers conferences, and other classes relevant to copyediting. I’m a member of The Editorial Freelancers Association.
I work collaboratively with authors to achieve the best final version of your manuscript. I do not use AI and I do not edit manuscripts that have been created using AI. See Nuts & Bolts by clicking up at the top of this page, for more information!
