You will benefit from my years of experience writing, teaching, and editing creative works. I will also share my insider’s perspective on the complex and changing world of publishing.

I always consider my clients’ needs and desires, whether a brief critique, a simple line-edit for clarity, or a full structural outline or rewrite. I’m also available to ghostwrite your story idea.

Each project is unique, and I will accommodate your goals and budget. I strive to keep my fees affordable.
