A lifelong grammar guru (please mind your its and it's around her!), Kerry has been copyediting for years. From literary journals to academic texts, Kerry is equipped to ensure the factual accuracy, grammatical correctness, and stylistic consistency of your written works. In addition to a lifetime of experience reading, writing, and studying language, Kerry has recently taken a graduate-level copyediting course with Karen English at Emerson College. Kerry has a current set of stylebooks (Chicago being her favorite) and she's not afraid to use them.
