Editing for K–12 Publishing Companies

Writing for students and teachers can be challenging. Both audiences require a different approach and a keen eye for detail to ensure clarity, readability, and consistency.

Whether you are developing student- or teacher-facing materials, I tailor my editing to your audience's needs and to your company's unique style.

My experience working on both the student and teacher sides of the same project has lent me a unique skill set. I have learned to place myself in both sets of shoes: those of the student and those of the teacher.

Regardless of scope, I approach every project with the same level of professionalism and with three goals in mind:

• to provide value to my clients

• to help students learn

• to help teachers teach

I got to know Michael on a very tricky year-long project. I was a content lead for several subject areas at the middle school level, and he was one of the mainstays for myself and for other content leads. Michael is a thorough and reliable editor and writer and has a highly engaging writing style. Throughout the project, he garnered accolades from even the most demanding editors on the client's side.
