I aim words to target a reader’s heart. Audiences shouldn’t be distracted trying to figure out what a sentence means; they shouldn’t be focused on minor (or glaring) errors, fumbling through the dark of a text trying to get to the light at the other end; it should be shining from the start. Readers should be engrossed in each element of a text and how they come together naturally, pining with those who miss home, angry with those who have suffered injustice, and challenged in their perspective with words and experiences that have left the pages and entered their own life. This is what reading can be and should be for anyone who picks up a book, reads an article, or engages with a blog, and this is my goal for every piece of writing that lights up my screen.
I have spent the past ten years teaching the structure and craft of short and long fiction and nonfiction, giving me an intimate knowledge of literary elements, their function within writing, and their role in the creation of voice. I am an expert at recognizing the elements of good literature, whether a novel, a memoir, an essay, or a creative short story, and I can use this expertise to help you craft an engaging, brilliant piece that highlights your talents and personality. Everyone has something to offer; everyone has a unique perspective, and everyone can write. I love watching people’s faces light up as they realize the truth of this statement for themselves.
In addition to teaching about literature and writing, I also teach English Language Learning, equipping me with expertise in English grammar and syntax and an appreciation for the courage it takes to share what you are learning.
Years of editing student work from the ground up make me an efficient and thorough editor, working with others to showcase their individual voice in whatever they are writing—from a dry academic essay to a creative short story or script.
I can guide clients from the first draft of their written work with developmental editing through the final draft with proofreading, or I can write it for them. I am passionate about discovering, reading, and creating good writing.
