Overview
In addition, I am a published author, having written several books for middle grade or younger readers, the most recent being four American Girl chapter books, the Hunters of Chaos series, and Just Princesses, a graphic novel in which Princess Katrina and her friends go on a quest to save the world after her evil stepmother casts a spell that backfires and gets rid of all the adults in the kingdom. (Don't you hate it when that happens?)
As a writer myself, I know how scary it can be to turn your work over to someone else and hope they don't tear it apart. I can guarantee that I'll be gentle yet honest. I'll help you fix structure problems, awkward syntax, plot holes, and typos--all while retaining your voice and style. We'll work together to whip your manuscript into shape without ever having to step foot in the gym! My hope is that you'll be proud of the final result. Let's get started!
