Philosophy:

I chose the word integrity to define my goals for your manuscript and for our working relationship.

Consider the following definitions:
Integrity (noun)
1. Firm adherence to a code or standard of values: CONSISTENCY
2. The state of being unimpaired: SOUNDNESS
3. The quality or condition of being undivided: COMPLETENESS
I want these understandings of integrity to assure you that:
• Your work will come back to you internally consistent and adhering to the style standard of your choice (Chicago or AP).

• Your edited manuscript will be structurally sound in terms of its writing and presentation of your ideas.

• Your job will receive my full attention until it is complete to your satisfaction.
If you choose Integrity to be your manuscript editor, you will receive top-quality work by the promised date and time, all at a price that won't break your budget.

While I am open to working with many book genres and a broad spectrum of subject matter, I limit my Christian editing work to material that reflects the historic truths of Christianity as stated in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms.
