Overview
Level up your manuscript with sensitive, incisive, market-savvy critique and hands-on editing. With 20+ years in journalism, strategic content development, and creative writing, I bring a unique perspective to your work that combines a sensitive eye and ear for language and your individual voice with deep knowledge of craft, publishing, and what works in the market. I've written and edited for global brands including Martha Stewart, Women's Health, Conde Nast, and others, as well as independent authors and publishers in the US, Canada, and Australia.
My last two indie authors sold their completed manuscripts to publishers, and one was the recipient of a new nonfiction award in Canada (we're so proud!)
