Jacob Arnold

I am an experienced editor who has led copy editing and design teams. I care just as deeply about the writer's voice and intentions as I do about the minutiae of style and grammar. Writing is not about adhering to rules but about expressing a thought. However, the rules have been created for a reason, so you have to know the rules and why you are breaking them. I want your writing to be crisp, clear, consistent and engaging without losing its zest and heart.
