I provide a wide range of writing and editing services: proofreading, copy editing, grammar and syntax review, content rewriting, line editing, and developmental editing of academic, nonfiction, financial, tax, and legal projects. I also index books, record for Radio Talking Books and record audiobooks for Audible and Librivox. Since 2020 I have edited more than a dozen nonfiction books, three book-length dissertations, more than 50 academic journal articles, numerous master’s theses and other shorter works, and several white papers. As a retired attorney, judge, and business school professor, I've applied my expertise to subjects ranging from an analysis of the UK's system of dual-class shares, to whether the legal definition of genocide should encompass political grounds, to the environmental aspects of fast fashion, and everything in between. I recently edited and indexed a book on the unique problems of employing those with criminal histories, which was published in 2024 by Springer Nature. I have also edited nearly a dozen travel and how-to books for CZYK Publishing, an independent publisher in the United States. I have extensive experience, and particular expertise, in working with clients for whom English is a second (or third) language. I edit in MS Word and return for each project a redline with my suggested edits and explanatory comments and, when appropriate, a clean copy ready for use. I have also edited in Google Docs and in Adobe. I have certificates in editing from the University of Washington and from the University of Chicago, a doctorate in accounting/business/economics from the University of Minnesota, and a law degree from the University of Michigan. I would love to speak with you about how I can help you make your writing clear, concise, and compelling. As a first step, let's schedule an interview to discuss your project!

Hi. Thanks for stopping by. I'm passionate about writing and storytelling. I'm a life-long student of the craft and have worked as a professional screenwriter in Hollywood for twenty years. I'm also everyone's go-to copywriter -- whether you need a website, blog, email, speech, ad copy or landing page, I've done it all. I have a warm, friendly tone that puts people at ease and invites them to keep reading. If you have a specific project, I'd love to hear about it. I believe words have super powers and I'd love to write yours. I'm new to Upwork, but I'm not new to writing. Please reach out if you think we're a good fit.

Former Fortune 500 CMO turned strategic narrative advisor. I help founders turn complex products into clear, compelling stories that investors and customers immediately understand. My work sits upstream of design, clarifying the narrative behind pitch decks, sales presentations and strategic communications. Over the past few years, narratives I've developed have supported $250M+ in funding from Seed to Series B. Typical clients come to me when: - Their pitch is not landing with investors - The product is strong but the story feels unclear - The deck explains features but not why the company wins - The market opportunity isn't coming through I've worked across SaaS, biotech, climate tech, fintech, consumer tech and enterprise software. Most of my work is under NDA, but I've included a few public examples. If you'd like honest feedback on your pitch or presentation, book a quick consultation and I'll give you clear, actionable input within 24 hours.
