Overview
I have lived in Europe and the United States. I love working with writers to achieve their vision, from poetry to essays to books. It is not only about sharpening syntax, but developing a distinct voice in writing, point of view, narrative and thematic arc, and more. I have been honing my skills as an author, editor, and publisher for over twenty years, and understand the challenges and rewards of the journey. I look forward to working with you.
