We’re in this together
As a writer myself, I have a distinct appreciation for the efforts, time, and emotional upheaval writing requires. Sometimes you love your project with the intensity of a thousand burning suns; other times you want to throw your computer from the Empire State Building and never look at your words again. I completely understand.
As an editor, I’m not just a nefarious brandisher of a red pen; I consider myself your partner and cheerleader. I want your every manuscript to be the best you’ve ever written, and I want you to succeed in reaching your publishing goals, whether they are modest or magnificent.
With nearly twenty years of experience writing and editing everything from novels and short stories to grant and research materials to corporate and private content and blogs, I am familiar and proficient with many genres and the most commonly known punctuation and style guides (i.e., Chicago Manual of Style, American Psychological Association, Associated Press, etc.), and have worked with dozens of bestselling independent and traditionally published authors. I am a current or former member of the Editorial Freelancers Association, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and Publishers Marketplace.
Outside of work, I’m an avid outdoorsian. Cycling, paddleboarding, hiking, and going on new adventures with my partner, Jeff, and dog, Junebug, occupy most of my time, and if I’m sitting still, it’s always with my nose in a new book.
