Are you looking for positive and constructive feedback from a beta reader? Line editing to enhance and refine your voice? Proofreading to catch those last, elusive typos, missing quotation marks, and spelling errors? I love helping writers polish their prose and making sure their unique writing voice shines through. I have a passion for adult and YA fantasy, science fiction, thriller/horror, and romance of any kind.

I’ve worked a wide variety of jobs: retail manager, display manager, library circulation and technical services clerk, rhythm guitar player, graphic designer, and assistant tai-chi instructor to name a few. Gardening is one of my hobbies, another is jewelry making. I have one cat named Pippin, who often gets into more mischief than the hobbit from Lord of the Rings.

While copy editing, I make sure the document reads clearly and has a natural flow. I am a native English speaker, and I have strong language and communication skills.
