I have been telling stories consistently since I was performing puppet shows in the living room as a kid. While my puppet friends and I have parted ways, I still cannot stop myself from seeking out stories and comedy - whether that's in everyday conversations or in my writing. In 2012 I began working on my own personal humor blog satirizing culture, politics, and myself. Working with kids from 2016 to 2019 also gave me an insight into young minds, helping me develop my own sense of creativity and imagination. While studying to get my degree in Writing from Eastern University, I discovered my passion for collaboration as editor-in-chief of Inklings, the college literary magazine. I also had the opportunity to write several short plays alongside the actors that would be performing in them, which was a valuable lesson in learning how to write for and with other people. I am constantly using this skill as a freelancer, balancing my own creative voice with the needs of my clients. My favorite projects have been the children's books, middle grade books, and young adult novels that I have ghostwritten. However, I can write for any age, and have written many genres, from humor, to science fiction, to fantasy, and thriller. For me, the most rewarding aspect of writing is helping others find their voices through believable characters and intriguing plots. This is not the only way to tell a story, though, as I have also helped create various funny scripts for YouTube, the stage, and other types of media. Is your story already written, you just need someone else to take a look and suggest improvements? I can edit it as well, telling you the hard truths while sticking to your vision. If you have a story you'd like to tell, feel free to reach out and I'd love to discuss how I can help. As an editor, I've worked with authors from all over the world, and am currently a freelance editor with Indigo River Publishing based in Pensacola, Florida. With Indigo River, I work as an editor and as an author coach, communicating with writers to help make sure their books are as perfect as they can be - all while sticking with their original visions. I can write at a fixed rate of $0.19 per word (for books of 10,000+ words) or $0.21 per word (for books below 10,000 words). My editing rate is around $0.11 per word, depending on how extensive the edits need to be. I can work on hourly projects too, and I estimate being able to write between 400-800 words per hour and edit between 800-1,600 words per hour.

An award-winning writer with nearly two decades of experience, my stories and articles have been featured in everything from graphic novels and magazines to newspapers and websites. I have a talent for making lesser-known stories come alive and have put my writing and research skills to use exploring such wide-ranging topics as obscure adventure sports, scientific innovators and pioneers, and political leaders that have reshaped the world. While contributing to projects as short as single page comic strips and as long as full-length graphic novels, my work has regularly dealt with subjects both serious and sublime and I have received particular acclaim for my humor and dialogue. With a bachelor degree in political science and an extensive editorial background, I can offer a wide-range of writing services and a quick turnaround for tight deadlines.

I offer clients 30 years as a top-notch editor in academic, technical, and creative settings. English is my field of expertise (and my native language), but scientific editing doesn't faze me. I have been teaching university-level technical and business writing, creative writing, and literature for the last 23 years. What's more, for the last decade I have been the copy editor for an international tax magazine and before that for a major national literary journal. My professional editing work includes books, dissertations, and academic journal articles in finance, economics, cognitive psychology, game theory, history, art, architecture, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, film, and more, plus novels by a nationally known writer. (A quick search on Google Books will reveal that many writers published by national presses have cited my editing in their acknowledgments pages.) I have edited books published by Harvard, University of California, University of Mississippi, Routledge, and other academic presses and by Penguin, Vintage, Counterpoint, and Little, Brown, among other literary/creative presses. That said, I am down-to-earth, have a sense of humor, and am willing to work with clients to produce a polished project. I have been freelancing since 1994 and have many references—just ask! I have an excellent knowledge of grammar, usage, punctuation, and syntax and will gladly help you get through your most difficult projects. Please note...I'm an EDITOR, not a GHOSTWRITER or a CONTENT CREATOR. I'm also an actual human editor with a lifetime of nuanced editing expertise, in an era where AI still can't catch the difference between "there," "they're," and "their"—never mind its inability to catch logical errors. (The day when AI catches up is coming, but we haven't reached it yet.)
