Welcome! I'm an experienced content writer with a passion for fiction, history, and research. I hold myself to high standards, and will always deliver the best product I can. My favorite clients are the ones who need help sharing their stories. I feel the most at home in the realm of historical fiction, but I'm just as capable in an analytical non-fiction setting. Some of my favorite authors include Herman Melville, Leo Tolstoy, and of course, J.R.R. Tolkien. I pride myself on communication, and work well with critiques; client feedback is always respected and considered, and I am happy to work with you until satisfaction is reached. Whether it's science fiction, a romantic romp through Scotland, an academic dissertation, or anywhere in between, let me help you tell your story. I look forward to hearing from you.

Learn more about me below: MY BACKGROUND – 35 YEARS EDITING AND HELPING WRITERS ⦿ Developmental Editor of Fiction, Certificate from Club Ed Freelancers (July 2023) ⦿ Master of Arts, English (1990). University of New Mexico ⦿ Bachelor of Arts, English (1985). San Diego State University ⦿ 5 years – Editor of 4kids DOT org – an international weekly syndicated comics feature for children, distributed by Universal Press (2000-2005). No missed deadlines. ⦿ 7 years - Communications team lead for the Center of Research in Biological Systems, UC San Diego, creating websites, press releases, conference presentations, newsletters, and editing and compiling 500+ page grant proposals and renewals – high-level neuroscience and electron microscopy packaged for a public audience. ⦿ Staff on 3 literary magazines – Northridge Review, Blue Mesa Review, Cottonwood Literary Magazine ⦿ Fiction Editor, Pacific Review (1985) ⦿ English Editor, Conceptions Southwest (1988) ⦿ Editor in Chief, Conceptions Southwest (1989) ⦿ Professional membership Editorial Freelancers Association, Northwest Editors Guild, Club Ed Freelancers, Hugo House – a place for writers, and Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum What writers have said about my editing: I am impressed and pleased with the work Lee did for me. His analysis was spot on, and his explanations of his observations were skillfully conveyed and bathed in quiet, courteous, and highly informative terms. His devotion to the task was first-rate. I consider his fee reasonable, the time he spent on the edit most generous, and the quality of his observations exceptional. I recommend him unreservedly to anyone considering a developmental edit on their work. -- Developmental edit for Alex, Memoirist, Feb. 2023 What I got back from Lee amounted to no less than a novel writing course packed into a six page letter. Lee made astute comments and suggestions on plot, character development, structure, dialogue and scene setting. He complimented many parts of the book, at the same time criticized its flaws. But for every problem cited he suggested a solution. In addition to his amazing letter, he made detailed editorial comments on the manuscript itself. His package satisfied my needs to a tee. -- Developmental edit for Tod, Novelist, Sep. 2023 Just when I thought I might give up on my novel (Burn it! Use it as a doorstop!), Lee popped into my life with the encouragement and knowledge I needed to keep going. . . . Not only were Lee’s revision comments SPOT ON (Why hadn’t I seen all that!?!), but he also provided clear, concise steps to help me through a daunting process. . . . I know he’ll help me continue to grow as writer, editor, and plotter. If you’re questioning whether or not you should work with Lee, do it! You won’t regret it. -- Developmental edit for Cat, Novelist, July 2023
