Using Adobe InDesign, I create professional Book Layout Design solutions that ensure consistency throughout your book. Adobe InDesign remains one of the most powerful tools for Typesetting, Interior Book Design, and producing a high-quality Print-Ready PDF for publication.

I work with a variety of book types, including nonfiction books, memoirs, journals, devotionals, workbooks, business books, educational materials, and children's books.

Words open worlds real and imagined. Whether it is creating characters, painting scenarios, provoking thought, making information come to life, or compelling the reader to emotions and actions words are beautiful and powerful. I help people find their voices and express themselves through the words they might have trouble finding or bringing from thought to page. Already have something written? Let me polish up what you've created to bring your writing to its full potential. For a detailed overview of my writing and editing work, please keep reading. If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to interview. Professionally, I've been a wordsmith since 2015. From semi-autobiographical fiction to full-fledged fiction and biographies, from business and marketing, academia to history books, About Us pages and mission statements, SEO-rich content to writing from the heart -- I've put it all to page for myself and others. I've helped many transform the scenes, stories, thoughts, and characters in their minds and transform them into words on a page. My portfolio includes having written and edited numerous published non-fiction books as well as content such as website Homepages, "About Us" and FAQs, and biographies. As a developmental editor, I help authors give depth and life to their work. On the other side of things, I've helped several sites grow working as an SEO-focused copywriter and bringing products to life with creative descriptions. I've also written and edited I'm a versatile writer that can adapt to any tone and style. I have experience writing long and short articles on a wide variety of subjects including those involving research, blogs, short public speaking pieces and wedding speeches, newsletters, press releases, fun/humorous pieces, and I especially love writing fun song parodies. AI is great--but it's not a human and it needs skilled human help. Whether you want AI assisted or 100% human writing, I am that skilled help. I've been honing my skills on a professional and volunteer level for many years. I'm also in an ongoing program one night a week aimed at improving research, writing, and public speaking skills. Extensive vocabulary, strong grammar, and syntax skills. I love the Oxford comma! Highly analytical. Strong skills in the logical development of themes and subject matter. See my Upwork test results for proof of skills.

"THE MOST EXPENSIVE BOOK YOU WILL EVER WRITE IS THE ONE THAT GETS A 1-STAR REVIEW FOR BAD PACING" Your book represents you, but if it has messy organization or missing pieces, it makes you look bad. You have done the hard work of writing your ideas down; now you need a logical, clear-headed eye to make sure the book is actually ready to sell. I act as the expert watching your back, turning your "rough draft" into a real book that meets professional standards. I will use a simple system to keep your readers interested and find weak spots that cause bad reviews before the world ever sees them. In the world of self-publishing and Amazon KDP, a bad review because of poor editing can kill your book's success forever. This is where I come in. I am a professional Book editor, Developmental Editor, and Ghostwriter with a background in Computer science and Audience Retention Strategy. I look at a manuscript the same way a programmer looks at code. If there is a bug in the logic or a break in the flow, the entire story fails. I help authors, CEOs, and self-publishers turn their rough drafts and manuscripts into "un-put-downable" books that build authority and leave a legacy. THE FIVE PILLARS OF MY EDITORIAL SERVICES To help you reach a professional publishing standard and hit the bestseller lists, I offer five levels of professional support: GHOSTWRITING AND BOOK WRITING You could have a great idea but no time to write, so I bridge that gap by providing professional ghostwriting services for non-fiction books, memoirs, and business guides. As your ghostwriter, I will capture your unique voice so the book sounds exactly like you. DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING (THE STRUCTURAL LOGIC PASS) This is the "big picture" manuscript editing as your developmental editor, I will look at the skeleton of your book to see if the chapters are in the right order or if the story has a strong narrative arc and to check if the pacing is fast enough for your genre. I find the structural holes in your book and give you a manuscript critique that acts as a roadmap for your rewrite. COPY EDITING AND LINE EDITING Once your structure is strong, I will perform deep line editing and copy editing. I refine your sentences for clarity, rhythm, and tone by making sure your writing is smooth, professional, and easy to read. I work strictly with the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS 17th Edition), which is the industry standard for book publishing. PROFESSIONAL PROOFREADING This is the final safety net for your book as your proofreader, I will perform a surgical scan of your manuscript to catch every lingering typo, misplaced comma, and spelling error. This is the last expert pass before your book goes to Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or a traditional literary agent. AI CONTENT EDITING AND HUMANIZING If you used ChatGPT to help draft your book, it probably sounds robotic, repetitive, and dry, so I will provide AI content editing to "humanize" your manuscript. I add soul, personality, and professional structure so your readers never know an AI was involved. WHY HIRE ME AS YOUR EDITOR? My background gives you a competitive edge: LOGIC-DRIVEN EDITING: My computer science background means I can find the logical gaps and plot holes that other editors miss, which lets your non-fiction argument or fiction plot be airtight. RETENTION-FOCUSED STRATEGY: I spent years studying audience psychology and why people stop reading content. I will apply those psychological "hooks" to your book to stop reader drop-off. KDP AND SELF-PUBLISHING READY: I understand the technical side of Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and book formatting, so I will make sure your manuscript is ready to upload. TOTAL TRANSPARENCY: I work in Microsoft Word using Track Changes so that you can see every single edit I make, allowing you to stay in 100% control of your authorial voice. GENRES I SPECIALIZE IN: NON-FICTION: Business Books, Self-Help, Personal Development, Tech, Memoirs, Finance, and Motivational Books. FICTION: Romance (Dark Romance, Contemporary), Mystery, Thriller, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Young Adult (YA). MY GUARANTEE TO YOU: I will not just "correct" your book but strengthen it; I will treat your manuscript with the same respect you do whether you are a first-time author or an experienced writer. I provide the professional oversight you need to be proud of your work. READY TO START YOUR EDITORIAL JOURNEY? Send me a message today; tell me your genre, your word count, and your publishing goals. If you are not sure what level of editing you need, I can provide a manuscript logic audit where I look at your first 1,000 words and tell you exactly what is what is not. Let’s get your book across the finish line.

I work as a high-level collaborator, not a content factory. If you want a premium book that builds your brand, let's talk.

I'm here to give your book, script, or content the same attention, care, and experience I have given major publishers, producers of $100M+ films, and the world's largest tech companies. Gratefully, 15 years ago, my first book was picked up by Harper Collins, debuted on Amazon at #1, and enjoyed massive publicity to the point of becoming an answer on Jeopardy(!). I've been a professional creative writer ever since, as a fiction and nonfiction book author, co-author and ghostwriter - except for the fact I also love filmmaking and screenwriting and have, again gratefully, worked directly with my fair share of Academy Award-winning producers and directors here in LA. I'm passionate about all writing and I love what I do! I can - ghostwrite your piece the way I have for major publishers. - co-author with you the way I did on a book that debuted at #1 on Amazon in true crime. - coach you through writing your book or script like I have with dozens of writers. - consult with you on story/ rewrite your script the way I have with Oscar-winning directors and producers. - help you create content and articles that grab and keep eyeballs, the way I have for Oracle VPs, etc. I also know what it's like to bare your soul and invite others to help with your creative work. It's a little bit like standing naked on a stage and I know it's not easy. I hire friends, editors, and writers to read and edit my own work all the time - we are all in this together, and we can all use help! Also deep down in my resume is the fact I've been both a high school and university Literature and Writing teacher so - I have all the grammar and style stuff covered, and I've got an extra dose of patience. It's always a priority to maintain the right voice (usually, yours) while still crafting a page-turner that absolutely nails every single beat of story structure. I'm highly collaborative and easy to work with, partially because I've, well, seen it all. Fiction, nonfiction, film, television, web3, true crime, YA, fantasy, memoir, travelogue, medical, whistleblower, biography, technical writing, comedy, drama, content creation, you name it, I've written or edited it. Apart from my nonfiction and fiction book authoring and editing, I have 25 years of experience as a filmmaker - as script supervisor, development, casting director, editor, and composer. I've done quite a bit of various film and TV work at the highest levels over the years, always training myself to learn every facet of both the literary and filmmaking worlds. When it comes to screenwriting, it sure helps to have that kind of production experience. I always look at every project - book or film, from poetry to biz docs - from a holistic, high angle view in terms of commercial viability as well as artistic integrity. It always starts with theme. So the first question is - what do you care about? What do you need people to hear? Then we drop some structure on it, pay special attention to the voice - and work it till we're happy :) I'm here to help and happy to chat. And for the heck of it, apart from the fact that I've had 6-figure book deals with Harper Collins and The Pegasus Books Group, here are some other individuals and entities I've worked with, directly: Sean Penn, Roland Emmerich, Spike Lee, Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Jerry Bruckheimer, Chris Carter, Mark Gordon, Emile Hirsch, Scott Rudin, Jim Carrey, Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Jackie Chan, Jennifer Garner, Mark Hamill, Meat Loaf Aday, Jack Douglas (music producer—John Lennon), Ziggy Marley, Damian and Julian Marley, Brandy, Third World, Shabba Ranks, Shaggy, Fran Drescher, David Levy (Robert Altman producer), Ed Saxon (producer Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, Beloved), Larry Cano (producer, Silkwood), Niels Juul (producer Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann), Roger Corman, an Elder Scroll founder, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning YA author Nnedi Okorafor, Sony, Dreamworks, Walden, Centropolis, WB, MTV, Paramount, NBC, CBS, FOX, and my own indie films as writer/ director/ producer/ editor have gone to festivals including Montreal and Gasparilla. Whew! If you got this far - thanks!

It was also an IndieNext pick. My second book won the 2016 Beverly Hills Book Award for Excellence in Fiction. It was called "Compulsively readable" by Kirkus Reviews. It was number four on PopSugar's list of must-read books, and it was featured in USA Today. My third novel was published by Koehler Books in October, 2019.

I offer everything from intensive manuscript reviews to development editing to proofreading and basic editing. I am also a writing coach with more than twenty years of experience.
