Sacramento, United States - 12:00 am local time
I am an editor who holds a BA in English and a BA in Creative Writing from the University of Arizona. I have 5 years of editing experience and have worked through freelance platforms and for literary journals, small presses, and a digital marketing agency.

For a digital marketing agency, I copy edit and proofread articles about healthcare, business, entertainment, insurance, and more. I am also the editor-in-chief of FLARE Magazine, a literary magazine dedicated to publishing stories, essays, art, and poems about chronic illness, disabilities, and mental health. I am also the social media coordinator for this role.

I am also a writer and have written 3 young adult mystery novels and one adult speculative mystery. I have edited many query letters and first pages, so I would be happy to edit these.

I am also open to editing poetry collections and children's picture books, short stories, business writing/reports, essays, poems, plays, and more. I have experience editing in all genres, age groups, and all types of nonfiction, too. In 2026, I would love to edit for more websites.

Let's get to work!
