Overview
I'm a developmental editor and copyeditor of fiction and memoir. I help authors who write genre or literary fiction, short stories or novels. I can also help you turn your personal story into a page-turning memoir. Whether you are a first-time author looking to self-publish or an experienced writer with a goal of publishing traditionally, let's talk about your work.
