Meet Your Editor
Hi, I'm Nimmy.
I'm an editor and proofreader based in Boulder, Colorado. I started Aspen Root Editing in 2021 after more than fifteen years in broadcasting, where I worked as a radio host, a commercial producer, a television technical director, and more. Editing was often a big part of my job, and I always dreamed of being a copyeditor. So I got professional training and worked with nonprofits to hone my skills, and now here I am! I continually take new courses to stay sharp in copyediting, line editing, and proofreading different subject matter. Getting to "go back to school" every now and then is one of my favorite parts of being an editor. My cats, Howl and Ponyo (pictured here), are my support staff. They don't do much editing, but they keep my lap warm and my days interesting!
I'm a lifelong learner and an avid reader of humor and satire, fantasy, science fiction, geology (especially concerning volcanoes and tectonics), geography, physics, and the cosmos. I spend my free time throwing pottery, cooking creative food, growing vegetables, and (slowly) learning Spanish. I've been known to play drums and synths in bands of many genres and do the occasional standup comedy set as well. In work, as in life, I value equity, empathy, and compassion. I emphasize conscious language in my editing, particularly surrounding gender and disability.
I grew up in the mountains as the youngest kid in a big family, and my siblings are the coolest, funniest people I know (besides my spouse, of course). Humor is one of the driving forces in my life, which is why my earliest editing clients (who I still work with all these years later) are humor writers. My work has branched out quite a bit since then, and I love editing all sorts of fiction and nonfiction alike. I also enjoy meeting and learning about new people, so get in touch! I'm eager to hear about what you've been writing and why it's meaningful to you.
