Currently Accepting: Beta reading, developmental editing, and proofreading jobs. Please note that if your manuscript hasn't been edited and "proofreading" turns into "editing," then I will charge extra for the job, or we'll part ways since the job wasn't as discussed. Currently on Hold: Ghostwriting. My skills begin by pulling ideas from the shadows of everyday life and creating realistic characters, ideas, and worlds. I am always up for the challenge. My interests lie in stories, novels, and the creation of an escape from the mundane. If you need help with developmental editing or beta reading to know how your novel lands, I could be your girl. I am an experienced novelist, beta reader, and (used to be) ghostwriter with the full-rounded potential to proofread anything you need. My areas of interest in the fictional world are cozy mysteries, all genres of romance, horror, science fiction, urban fantasy, slice-of-life, coming-of-age, paranormal, crime/thriller, and fairytale retellings. Communication is key to the success of your novel! Expect clarifying questions from me, respectful comments, honesty, and collaboration!

Asheville, North Carolina

I help therapists, private practices, and wellness brands turn their expertise into clear, thoughtful content and websites that build trust and connect with the right people. My work combines writing, strategy, and design. Because I work across both content and visual presentation, I can often take a project from the initial ideas and messaging all the way through to a polished final product, including the website itself. My background includes graduate training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with professional training and experience in clinical Eastern and Western herbalism, Ayurveda, birth and postpartum care, yoga, professional organic gardening, and regenerative land care. This gives me a strong foundation in mental health, holistic wellness, and other nuanced subject areas that require thoughtful, accurate, and human-centered communication. Ways I can support your brand: ✦ Website design & refreshes (Squarespace, Shopify & Wix) ✦ Website copy, messaging & SEO ✦ Social media strategy, copy & Canva design ✦ Ebooks, workbooks, guides & educational PDFs ✦ Blogs & long-form educational content ✦ Newsletters & email content ✦ Ghostwriting & thought leadership ✦ Course & educational materials ✦ Ongoing monthly content support I’ve worked with therapists, private practices, wellness educators, certification programs, herbal and Ayurveda brands, birth and postpartum organizations, regenerative and land-based businesses, and other mission-driven organizations. Clients often come to me with a lot of knowledge, ideas, or existing material but need someone who can bring it all together. I’m comfortable working independently, learning your voice, organizing complex information, and taking something from a rough idea to a polished final product without losing what makes your work unique. Available for project-based work and ongoing monthly support.
