proofreader. copy editor. writer.

Big or small, I’m here for you.

I can be your ride-or-die, big-picture editor or that contact you keep in the back of your rolodex for ad hoc marketing projects (remember rolodexes… just me? never mind).

My editing method is friendly and approachable with an emphasis on clear communication. From long-form fiction to business proposals and resumes, I provide thoughtful solutions, precise proofreading, and timely edits aimed toward enhancing your voice and brand.

Providing you with a unique level of expertise

Writing is isolating enough, and that dreaded imposter syndrome we all know and hate looms on the shoulder of every writer I know (even the published ones). Having your work edited is personal and at times scary or intimidating. Let me remove that from the equation. My approach is friendly, constructive, and non-judgmental. So, what’s stopping you?

With a background in accounting,

I’m meticulous in nature and wildly forensic when it comes to word choice, punctuation, grammar, and formatting.

Communication that suits your needs

Are you more at ease through email correspondence? Too camera-shy for Zoom? Maybe phone calls are your happy medium. When we dive into your project, we’ll do it your way.
