With a focus on deepening a writer’s argument, refining sentence flow, and cultivating the writer’s distinct voice, I have experience content editing and line editing essays for artist monographs and exhibition catalogues, as well as artist profiles, exhibition reviews, and industry reports for media outlets.
Below are a few examples:
