You’ve done the work—now make sure your finished product reflects your efforts. Using your voice and content, together we can tailor your ideas and hone your message so your clearest words reach your broadest audience. Simply put, it’s about communication and collaboration, between you and your clients and between you and me.

I never compromise quality for time; I am attentive to detail and a meticulous researcher—and I will meet realistic deadlines that accommodate your schedule. I look to build repeat business and long-term relationships with my clients, so I strive for open communication about all aspects of the work. For me, every project is a collaboration.
Testimonials
“Nancy is a gifted editor and proofreader of fiction, as well as an engaging and talented non-fiction writer. In her role as editor, I worked with Nancy on two fiction novellas translated from the Chinese. Nancy’s contributions to both works undoubtedly ironed out any consistencies in the titles’ style and voice, as well as made them more accessible to the English-language reader. Nancy is a professional who never misses a deadline, catches grammatical errors with surgical precision and possesses excellent editorial judgement. I would highly recommend Nancy’s editorial services to all individuals and companies looking for a certified expert to work on any written copy.”
“I worked with Nancy on several publications that the China country office of the United Nations Development Programme produced over the course of last year. In her capacity as the copyeditor of the publications, Nancy has demonstrated exceptional professionalism. She is very detail-oriented and possesses strong communication skills. In particular, she is very responsive and communicates in a timely manner, which makes it very easy to work with her. Nancy delivered high-quality products while working on time-sensitive assignments, which proved to be of great use to our work at UNDP. I have no hesitation in recommending her to others who seek to work with an outstanding copyeditor.”

Always dedicated to completing the task to the highest standard, Nancy is the exemplar of trustworthiness and professionalism. I highly recommend her for the most important and difficult editing work.”

These are crucial qualities when clients expect a perfect product. Nancy takes great pride in her work and clearly loves what she does.

ABOUT ME
I’m originally from Long Island, New York, but I started traveling as soon as I could, working in European restaurants and clothing shops and teaching in Asia, until I found my true love—words. As a full-time, award-winning writer and editor, I’ve spent nearly two decades in Beijing, China. I am a published Penguin author and have a professional copyediting certificate from University of California at San Diego. I cover China’s theater, dance, opera, and classical music for Time Out Beijing and Time Out Shanghai magazines and have edited books, educational materials, and United Nations policy papers; I have also written and edited North Korean art catalogues and script-doctored a European-North Korean collaborative film. Although my specialty is China's performing arts, I can write and edit across a broad spectrum that includes general arts and culture, travel, and the social sciences. I also give presentations on China (for children and adults), China arts, and Shakespeare in China, and I do travel photography on my many trips.
