Bio
Mayumi Hirtzel
Tricia performed copy editing duties on my novella. She negotiated a fair rate, a good timeline, and provided excellent effort. When my publisher received the print proof, he commented specifically on how flawless the copy editing was. Tricia's highly-skilled contribution made a good project great, in my eyes and in others'.
Jonathan L. Fischer
Mark's recommendation nailed it. I worked with Tricia for more than four years at Washington City Paper, two of them as her main editor, and was always impressed by the crispness of her copy, the depth of her critiques, and the humor—sometimes dry, sometimes perfectly dark, always revelatory—that ties her reviews together. As critic, Tricia is largely concerned with and highly attuned to the experience of the viewer—her reviews feel like they've put you in the theater. Assign her stuff!
