Follow me. What I do. Where I write. How I edit.
This is what I’m doing.
This is what I’m doing.
I’ve known Polly Campbell now for years. First as my writer’s workshop peer and friend and now as her proud editorial assistant who writes for, promotes, and edits Polly’s two podcasts and matching Substack accounts: Simply Write w/ Polly Campbell and Polly Campbell, Simply Said.
I write genre fiction centered around strong millennial women who struggle with asking themselves what they truly want. I am currently seeking literary representation with my first manuscript as I actively write my second, a WIP that was accepted into StoryStudio Chicago’s 2024–2025 NIAY program—a selective writing cohort.
I write and edit websites, marketing mailers, form letters, cover letters, resumes, one sheets, presentation slides, articles, blog posts—you name it. I do this with the voice of my client in mind, and if that means throwing away proper grammar for catchy fragments, so be it. There’s a time and place for proper semi colon usage.
