When words matter
(or you just need a cookie*).
*the baked kind, not the SEO kind

What I Do
I'm a Copyeditor and Proofreader who can make sure what's on the page (or the screen) is supposed to be there, for projects of all shapes and sizes.
​​
I'm a Writing Coach for those times when you need someone to guide and goad you.
​
I'm a Developmental Editor (and a Line Editor) when you need a "frenemy" to tell you what works—and what doesn't.
​
I'm a measured, attention-paying Beta and Sensitivity Reader when you're almost there, but need to find out how your text resonates with another heart.
​
I'm a Baker—because everyone needs a cookie from time to time.


TL;DR - I'm a word guy.
I've been working with words for as long as I can remember. Enjoying their sounds, their looks, and their amazing power.
Yes, I've got two English degrees, but long before those I was reading and writing and admiring words. I'm a member of ACES (the American Copy Editors Society) and the LGBTQ+ Editors Association. I think rules are great in writing—they're so much fun to break.
​
My to-be-read stacks are monumental. My "I worked on that book" shelves are filled with great memories. And, honestly, I just find language fascinating.
And, really, don't you want to work with someone who likes words?
