Everyone has a story, so everyone needs an editor. My most meaningful work is in the shaping of words, finessing every project into its most fully realized form. I'm a writer's editor, having worked for newspapers and magazines for more than 18 years. You will almost always find me with a book or pen in my hand, if I'm not at my desk editing a manuscript or assignment. A bachelor's in English and master's in writing form the bedrock of my lifelong study of literature in all its forms. If you need an editor or proofreader, odds are I am more than qualified (and very eager to get started). I pride myself on keeping a diverse pool of clients, with projects that range from financial materials for American Advisors Group to line edits for authors like Christopher Murphy (The Other Side of the Mirror, Where the Boys Are). Name it, and I've edited it: commercial pieces, flash fiction, website ads, product packaging, email campaigns, slideshows, poems, recipes, blogs, business newsletters, short stories, children's books, travel guides, exposés, memoirs, screenplays, novellas, and so much more in just about every industry and genre. Empathy is an underestimated force of nature that informs my own writing, along with my all-in process as an editor and proofreader. My first priority is learning from my clients what kind of editor they need and how I can be the most successful fit for the work ahead. Is there a resume in need of structure? A novel in need of a thorough and careful eye? Perhaps the company needs an editor to freshen up the website. Whatever the project, I will gladly make room for it in my calendar. It is always a thrill and honor to showcase my skills.Book Editing

I am an aspiring author and avid reader. I have written multiple pieces, researched differing plotting methods, and helped friends with plotting and drafting their first works of literature. I want to help you too! I am great at proofreading and providing authors with constructive criticism to help their stories be the best they can be. I can help edit your novel, be a beta reader for your already polished novel, or help you turn that idea in your head into a fully fledged novel outline. I have not worked with any clients other than my friends, so I am starting completely from scratch and I am hoping to gain some clientele. So, what are you waiting for? Work with me to improve your novel and grow as an author!Book Editing
