Maine Woods Editing

My name is Betsy Judkins, and I copyedit, proofread, and write from my home in the Maine woods or wherever I happen to be adventuring with my family. I am a children's book reviewer for Kirkus Reviews and was their copyeditor for 11+ years, so I have years of experience both evaluating writing and giving feedback. I am a proofreader for Arc Manor, and I also have professional training in recipe and cookbook editing. Since I am a former classroom teacher, your edits will include grammar and writing tips/lessons as well as mnemonic devices for remembering spellings and which troublesome word to use when (accept/except, lie/lay, rein/rain/reign).
