From First Draft to Published Author: Expert Editing for Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Academic Writers.
I don’t just fix sentences; I empower writers. With over two decades spent at the intersection of creative and academic writing, I bring a veteran teacher’s patience and an expert editor’s precision to every project.
​
My background as a colllege professor and writing coach has given me a deep understanding of how to bridge the gap between a rough draft and a polished masterpiece. Whether you are navigating the rigorous standards of a dissertation or the delicate nuances of a novel, my goal is to refine your work while amplifying your unique voice.
