Editing TLC

I am a wife, mother, third grade teacher, and copy editor. I live in Brooklyn, Wisconsin with my husband of thirty-six years. We have five adopted children who are all now living their independent adult lives. The family gets together once each month to do some fun activity, everything from laser tag to pumpkin carving. Calendars are given for Christmas with all of the dates and activity plans for the following year. We have found this to be a real strengthening force for our family.

Beyond my family and school, I reach out to serve others in two ways. The first way is on a local level, by teaching Love and Logic parenting classes in our school district and around the state.  The other is on a national level by serving on the executive board of Marine Parents United.

Editing TLC

Editing TLC is the result of my love for copy editing and the fact that I have had the opportunity to work with a growing number of authors. I want to share their work and also announce my availability for copy editing and writing book reviews.

Why Hawkeyes?

I've shared with several of my author friends that my favorite animal is the redtail hawk. The reason is that I just love to watch redtails soaring in the sky and sitting atop our telephone poles here in Wisconsin.  I wish that I had their ability to fly and to be able to enjoy that freedom of flight. Hawks like to be high above it all, with a view that gives them a totally different perspective than those of us on the ground. 

I enjoy looking at other's writing from a new perspective and hopefully my high standards will prove to help you to get your manuscript to its very best. 

I believe it was Mark Lavorato who first gave me the nickname of "Hawkeyes," and it is one that I'm very proud to accept. 

Here's an acrostic based on my love of hawks, and a motto I try to live by:

• Heavenly
• Attitudes
• Will
• Keep us
• Soaring
