Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for giving me a TOP RATED status here on Upwork, with 100% job satisfaction. I'm here to make YOU a (behind the scenes) top rated author! Let me take the stress out of your writing project and make it shine.
I have been an author/writer/editor/proofreader for over 20 years, including nine years as a monthly newspaper columnist. I specialize in a conversational, lighthearted, approach, but can write and edit in any tone for any platform you need. I've written/edited books, articles, courses, a dissertation, websites, newsletters, ads, social media, descriptions, and much more. I have worked with clients from China, Israel, Berlin, and the USA, both on and off of Upwork. I'm on staff with a local magazine with wide circulation, and have other local jobs that come and go.
I am so honored to have been published in Chicken Soup for the Soul in September of 2021, July of 2024, February of 2025, and coming up again in October of this year. They accept only 101 out of over 3,000 submissions per issue. It's sold in over 100 countries and translated into over 40 languages. It's been amazing to know people around the globe are reading my stories. I will also be published soon in a Guideposts book. Founded by Norman Vincent Peale of the best seller "The Power of Positive Thinking," they have been around for 75 years.
I can help you with line, developmental, and structural editing. I will examine tone consistency, redundancy and repetitiveness, unnecessary ramblings, clarity, sentence and paragraph length and overall readability, Also, I will suggest words for more impact, or deleting words that may be confusing. To put it broadly, I'm representing the reader while keeping your voice and message intact. Of course, proofreading for errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar is always done.
This is my passion and I'd love to help you - I'm hopelessly devoted to my clients. Please get in touch and I will send you my website with samples and reviews. Thanks!

The brain of a data detective, the pen of a journalist, and the instincts of a compliance lawyer.
For 40+ years, I have worked as a writer, researcher, and editor across technology, finance, policy, operations, HR, healthcare, and regulated business environments. Clients and readers include C-suite executives, policymakers, engineers, academics, legal and compliance teams, and subject matter experts who need clear, credible content from complex material.
With degrees in Journalism (BA), Behavioral Psychology (MS), and Law (JD), I bring a disciplined approach to research, structure, language, and evidence. My work is strongest when the subject is complex, the reader expects substance, and the final product needs analysis, judgment, and a compelling argument.
I am comfortable working under tight turnaround, as long as we agree on scope and deadline. Projects maybe structured hourly or on a fixed-fee basis, depending on research depth, review cycle, and level of polish required. AI tools may support organization, synthesis, and workflow speed, but the judgment, source review, structure, voice, and final writing remain mine.

Over the past 20 years, I have developed an incredible range of entrepreneurial experience having started 2 companies from scratch, consulted with some of the most renowned agencies in the world, and worked within other small companies as an integral part of their success and growth. Additionally I have years of experience as COO of a multi-million dollar energy brokerage, taught entrepreneurship and marketing at a University and worked as Editor of an academic publishing company in the area of underwater warfare.
Now, I get to help entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs identify and formulate a strategy to bring their ideas to market. A lot of people have really great concepts, skills and passions but lack the experience needed to actually build a business. Whether you need advice about the legal structure of a business, market research, and/or product or brand development, I can help. I also can help with asset management, investment portfolio creation and feasibility studies and reports.
In coaching, I believe that every problem is actually just a mistake in perspective. Many people who start a business can get tunnel vision about how it should operate and be structured. By asking the difficult questions and thinking in an encompassing manner, I can help identify your best path towards success.
I look forward to helping you in your project!
