My editing helps authors develop polished writing, including literary fiction, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and business.
Aspiring and established authors alike will benefit from my editorial services. Editing will help your work, whether you plan to approach traditional publishers or intend to self-publish.
I edit novels, short stories, and other forms of creative writing while keeping in mind both the technical and artistic aspects of every work. Each writer has a unique voice, and I take careful consideration to ensure each is developed fully.
My non-fiction editorial services are available for business communications such as grants, proposals, reports, newsletters, press releases, and more. I have a background in business administration and experience in producing marketing materials.

If you shared shiftless film critic Douglass Infantino’s caustic view of late capitalism, you’d probably take heart from the discovery – until you realized that you’d have to erase yourself from the continuity in order to put things right again.

Have you ever been in a van full of girls? All the girls are alive and they're happy. You’re all heading off to do something whimsical and flirty and you’re maybe a little bit drunk.
