I'm a passionate writer who thrives on turning ideas into compelling, purposeful content. I've dedicated years to studying linguistics, language, and literature to build a strong foundation that allows me to adapt to virtually any style or medium—from scriptwriting and blog writing to copywriting, storytelling, and beyond.
No matter the project, my goal is the same: to give your words clarity, structure, and impact. I write with intention, crafting content that resonates with its audience, communicates its message effectively, and accomplishes exactly what it's meant to do.

As a published author and top rated plus freelancer, I have over ten years of experience in editing, from basic proofreading and copy editing to deep line edits and developmental commentary.
I have written ten novels across a wide range of genres, multiple screenplays, and am currently the lead writer for a dark fantasy comic. Readers consistently praise my writing for the nuanced, realistic characters, quick dialogue, and exciting action, all of which I bring to my line editing projects. Line editing is my passion, although I am available for creative writing when it comes to screenplays and video games.

I am an award-winning screenwriter, script consultant and script doctor. I work with producers and writers to edit, sharpen and rewrite pilot scripts and screenplays. My experience ranges from co-creating and serving as Head Writer for series at Nickelodeon and MTV to serving as Creative Consultant on a Sundance competition documentary to teaching beginning and advanced screenwriting at the university level. I have also written and produced award-winning spots for Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite and other cable networks (2 Clio Awards, 11 nominations.) I specialize in Story Structure and working with writers to bring their stories to life in ways that connect deeply with audiences.
While most of my work as a writer and script doctor is for production companies and creatives in Los Angeles and New York, I am based in Minneapolis. I came here to direct a feature film I wrote and have stayed to participate in a vibrant creative community -- and raise a family. I consider myself tri-coastal.

To be in business today, you need a successful, engaging, and authoritative website. But if customers don't find your website, you are likely losing out on some valuable people (and revenue too). The best websites subscribe to the EEAT principle - content should demonstrate experience, expertise, authority, and trust.
I write people-first website content, such as blogs, articles, and landing page copy, that helps position your organization as experienced experts who are authorities in their space. The content I prepare for you will help you earn your customers' trust, establishing your company as an expert, so they keep coming back.
The risks of poor copywriting and content on your website:
🔴 Increased bounce rates
🔴 Confusion about the products and services that you sell
🔴 A bad taste that you are a low-quality business, and customers won't trust you
🔴 A poor brand story
Great content, on the other hand, can do the following:
🟢 Drive more traffic to your website
🟢 Help improve your search engine ranking results
🟢 Build a relationship with your audience
🟢 Make you stand out from your competition
Here is what I can do for you:
✅ Create high-quality, authentic, and engaging content that your customers will want to read
✅ Maximize site traffic by creating SEO-optimized content, including keywords, H1, H2, H3 headers, backlinks, etc.
✅ Provide headline recommendations via HeadlineStudio to give your article better SEO value
✅ Help you improve your search engine rankings and boost your credibility
So what's my process? To get started, do one of the following:
➡️ Request a 15-minute call via Upwork so that we can connect and I can better understand your needs
➡️ Send me an Upwork contract that clearly outlines your needs and outcomes
➡️ I will review your materials and provide you with any remaining questions
➡️ I'll get to work, developing an excellent piece that you will want to post to your website right away

I love to read, organize things, and help people fix their problems. I combine these interests to smooth out your manuscript with proofreading, copy-editing, and formatting to present your text in a form easily read and understood. I do not do developmental editing, but when I copyedit, I'm highly aware of content mistakes and missteps and will alert you to these. My favorite assignments are fixed-price, non-fiction projects; I’m open to both long-term and short-term contracts and will edit any document size.

I come from a time—not a galaxy far away—where a strong work ethic matters. When I tell you what I can do, it's accurate. If I take on a project, I'll communicate clearly, meet deadlines, and deliver the quality I promised.
Reliability isn't a bonus in my work; it's the foundation.
You're busy. Deadlines stack up, projects overlap, and it can feel like you're keeping a dozen plates spinning at once. When content writing, PDF converting, and document cleanup become more plates than your attention can handle, I'm here to keep those spinning smoothly so you can focus on the rest of your business.
With more than 20 years of experience in Microsoft Word, I've created and formatted professional documents ranging from reports and archival submissions to complex files requiring tables of contents, footnotes, headers, style consistency, and PDF conversions.
I enjoy bringing order to complicated documents and creating files that are accurate, professional, and easy to use.
As both a writer and a trained actor, including several performances in the Minnesota History Theatre, I approach every project by stepping into the audience's perspective. I look beyond the words themselves to understand what readers want to see, what clients need to communicate, and how to create content that feels both human and precise.
How I can best help you:
• Writing that balances authority, clarity, and approachability
• A credible voice with a subtle comic edge (when appropriate)
Clients work with me when they need:
• Deep research translated into readable content
• A voice that builds credibility and audience trust
• Content that keeps readers scrolling instead of clicking away
• Complex documents organized, cleaned up, and professionally formatted
• Expertise with ChatGPT, Claude, Spiral, and Google Docs
I’m also experienced in helping you with:
• Converting PDFs into fully editable Word documents
• Advanced Microsoft Word formatting
• Table of Contents and footnote creation
• Document cleanup and formatting correction
• Expertise with Excel spreadsheets
• Research and information organization
• YouTube scriptwriting for educational, narrative, or comedic projects
• TED-style and keynote talks that blend insight, structure, and humor
• Thoughtful and personalized obituaries
My expertise with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and The Phillips Collection Art Museum in Washington, D.C. involved creating and formatting documents for submission to the Library of Congress archives, where accuracy and consistency were critical.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with—I’d be glad to help.
Portfolio samples available, including YouTube scripts, historical research, article writing, and document formatting projects.
