Overview
From Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to best-selling fiction authors and even NASA, I've provided editing and proofreading services for over a decade. Writing and editing are not just my passions, but my life's work, and I'm here to ensure you're putting your best work into the world.
Your vision is important, and that's why I work closely with you to help you realize your goals. I'm not just blunt—I'm honest, and I know what it takes to make your story a successful one.
I've worked on a wide range of projects, including but not limited to screenplays (feature-length and short-form), comics, short stories, novellas, non-fiction books, all manner of fiction (specializing in romance, sci-fi, horror, and fantasy), textbooks K-12, legal documents, investigative reports, studies conducted by NASA, and software manuals. My clients find me communicative, easy to work with, insightful, and able to provide them with a level of service they've not received elsewhere.
Let me put my experience and skill to work for you.
