Darlea Dominelli
I have always been passionate about communication and helping people reach their highest level. This resulted in a passion for writing and music, and it led to my years of working as a teacher. I have a master’s degree in English from the University of Delaware and taught composition during my time there. I am also a piano instructor and pianist.
I tend to develop close professional relationships with my clients and serve many functions to help get a text where it should be. I have experience working on CVs, essays, dissertations, and books. I have served various roles in preparing manuscripts for publication (research, notes/bibliography, formatting, proofreading, permissions, manuscript coordinator). I recently worked with Jean Pfaelzer on California, a Slave State and Gabrielle Foreman on Praise Songs for Dave the Potter and, formerly, The Colored Conventions Movement. I have also worked as a grant writer and can aid in fine-tuning grant proposals. Styles I’m especially comfortable with are Chicago and MLA (but I’ll gladly work with others).
