MORE ABOUT ME
Greetings! It is a pleasure to meet you here. You probably want to know more than just keywords. Here goes!
A writer and editor all my adult life, in 2022 I devoted myself to this vocation. As of 2026, I have at least 7 cumulative years of copywriting experience and about 5 of copyediting. I have also been a beta reader.
In addition to the creative world, I've exercised my writing and editing skills in IT, customer service, and office administration. My word-ly exposure is eclectic: I've been employed by newspapers, magazines, and engineering firms. I currently freelance for a publishing house, and for almost three years I ran communications and handled web copywriting for an aviation education foundation.
EDUCATION: My education includes an MFA in Fiction and a BA in English Literature. I was on fiction review teams with two college literary journals.
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU.
I already respect and appreciate you, even though we haven't met yet. The fact that you are here -- as a creator committed to the hard work necessary to carry your writing to the next level -- that makes you heroic in my book.
This step probably also calls for courage on your part, and I respect that, too. I have been edited as often as I have been an editor, so I know how exciting and terrifying it can be. You are entrusting your creative baby to someone; exposing your inner creative flame.
What, then, do you want and need from an editor? Do you believe you would benefit from an editor:
- Who strives to "get" you?
- Who has an uncanny eye for detail?
- Who is both empathic and intuitive?
- Who is fiercely committed to excellence?
- Who enjoys helping you deeply explore the craft and meaning of your words?
- Who loves assisting you in carving a clear and compelling path of connection with readers?
If you answered "Yes" to any of these, consider yourself someone who wants to resonate more profoundly with readers and with yourself ... and consider me someone who wants to explore how we might collaborate to help you accomplish those goals.
So let's talk!
