I am not the droid you're looking for! But I am the human who can perfect your writing. With nearly a decade of experience as a legal writer, I specialize in legal, business, and academic writing, grants and RFP responses, or any writing in which precision and clarity are paramount. Whether you need help restructuring your manuscript, punching-up your language, or polishing your final draft, I’m the perfectionist you want in your corner. I started my professional writing and proofreading career at an employment law firm where proofreading is high-stakes. One wrong comma has the potential to ruin a case. I simply can’t not see the dangling participles, split infinitives, and typos. (Although I do believe in using the occasional double negative for emphasis.) Good writing requires more than correct spelling and grammar. Clarity, style, and storytelling capture your audience’s attention and keep them reading, even in the dryest documents. I have a BA in History from Carleton College and an MFA from Northwestern University. I read my college newspaper with a red pen in hand and Tony-award-winning director Anna Shapiro once called me frighteningly attentive to detail. With my experience as both a legal writer and a theater maker, I bring an expert command of grammar, a strong instinct for storytelling, and an ear for what makes writing sing. On every project, I start by connecting with you to learn about your goals for your writing. For every draft, I'll provide precise and comprehensive line edits, a thorough grammar, spelling, and syntax review, as well as comments and suggestions to take your writing to the next level. I believe in paying attention to the details, responding to emails quickly, and forging strong relationships with my clients. Let’s collaborate! I can help you with: - Books and manuscripts, both fiction and non-fiction - Blog posts, articles, newsletters, and emails - Grant applications and Request for Proposal responses - Press releases - Artist statements, personal statements, application essays - Dissertations, theses, and academic papers, including citation formatting (I’m an expert at Chicago Manual of Style and proficient in MLA and APA styles.) I'm always excited to take on a new adventure. If I seem like a good fit but you don't find what you're looking for on this list, let's connect. I'd love to chat more about how I can support your project.
