  I am an Army Veteran with over 30 years in Special Operations (Army Rangers and Green Berets) and have been freelance editing for over ten years. I have an MFA in Creative WRiting from the University of Texas at El Paso.I specialize in applying the Story Grid editing methodology to military fiction and non-fiction. I also have a lot of experience and a deep interest in editing thrillers, science fiction, and fantasy. Ive found that my military background helps me advise authors on how to write authentic action plots and scenes.My services include developmental editing, line editing, ghostwriting, manuscript planning, and book mentoring.
