Overview
I have helped many get their ideas written and prepared for publication. I teach classes on writing, editing, and finding inspiration, as well as working with authors one-on-one. I help with word choice, world-building, character development, and all the usual grammatical details. If all you need is content editing, that's great. Want everything from plot to dialogue worked on, we can do that too.
I read like a writer and write like a reader. Working with authors, established or aspiring, gives me great joy. If you want to work with someone who is supportive, gives excellent constructive feedback, and is easy to work with, I'm the perfect person for you.

Work experience
Self-employed
I have written, ghostwritten, and edited books; coached writers; and taught classes and seminars on writing. I help with query letters, synopsizes, and the fleshing out of ideas. My company has helped to publish and sell works and has attended dozens of writing conferences and book events.
Public and Private Schools (CA and TX)
I worked as an educator most of my life, mostly working with elementary, middle school, and high school students. I have taught English the majority of the time, but I have also been an art, ESL, and creative writing teacher. Working with students of all ages has been my calling.
