Overview
I see my clients as partners: we both want to take what you’ve written and make it as concise, clear, creative, and compelling as it can possibly be. That's why I'm happy to work with you at any stage of the writing process. Have an idea that needs more development? I can coach you through character profiles, plot outlining, and finding the direction you want to take your work. Have a first/second/third draft? We can talk about your concerns and get it ready for prime time. I'm invested in helping you succeed, so let's have a conversation about your project and your goals, and I'd love to help you get there.
Quick tidbits about me:
Education: I double-majored at the University of Rochester, graduating Magna Cum Laude with honors in English and Brain & Cognitive Sciences. My English concentration was in Creative Writing.
Publishing Experience: I worked for a global publisher for more than six years in both editorial and marketing roles.
Other Interests: I volunteer as a moderator for my local writing group, Jersey City Writers. I'm also an Olympic Trials Qualifier in the marathon, beginner knitter, and half-decent chocolate chip cookie baker, among other things.
