Overview
I work with writers of any genre and at all stages of their career. I offer creative, in-depth story analysis, with suggestions based on the intent of the manuscript and your strengths; support and advice on how to improve your writing in general. The service generally includes extensive comments on the manuscript and a several-page critique, but I can work with your needs and your budget to give you exactly what you want.

Work experience
Cathedral of St John the Divine
I wrote and edited newsletters, brochures, and grants on all aspects of the famous cathedral's programming, including education, social justice, and the arts.
Self-employed
After publishing three books, and reviewing books for The New York Times and other publications, I started editing and assessing manuscripts for friends and friends of friends. Gradually, this turned into a business and now I work at it full-time. I have worked with fiction writers, poets, academics, and writers of nonfiction from history to psychology to self-help and business, doing everything from copy editing to ghostwriting. All kinds of editing and genres feed each other; I learn from my clients as they learn from me.
