But that doesn’t mean my journey to becoming an editor followed a straight path—I took detours through science, law, and theology before finally enrolling and graduating from the editing program at a local university.
Needless to say, my background is eclectic. But it has given me a unique skill set that I’m proud to bring to my work—one that’s rooted in the love of story and grounded in an understanding of how words not only inform, but also persuade, inspire and entertain.
Whether you have a story that transports readers to another realm or a narrative that challenges the status quo, I am committed to preserving your authorial voice while sharpening the power of your prose.
And while my passion for storytelling breathes life into my work with fiction and memoir, my grounding in science and law ensures that non-fiction manuscripts stand out with clarity and credibility.

And note that my site is more than just a place to advertise my editorial services. My site also supports authors and aspiring authors in pursuing their publishing goals.
I write on writerly matters (such as editing and the writing craft) and I write about the business of being an author. I blend insights gleaned from experts with personal anecdotes from my own experiences. And I delve into a wide array of topics, including author platforms, publishing, leveling up,1 mental health and money.
Yup, money. Because money touches everything in your life. And I mean everything.
So, without apology, I occasionally post about money. Although I understand and appreciate the romantic appeal of an artist being a long-suffering, heroic genius, I don’t believe you have to suffer for your art.
- “Leveling up is often used as a metaphor to describe personal growth, progress, or improvement in various aspects of life. In the context of meaning of things, leveling up can symbolize the journey towards self-discovery, development, and achieving one’s goals. It signifies moving to a higher level of understanding, skill, or consciousness. This concept encourages individuals to continually strive for self-improvement and challenge themselves to reach new heights. Ultimately, leveling up represents the ongoing process of becoming the best version of oneself.” (Unveiling the True Meaning of ‘Level Up’: Elevate Your Understanding – Meaning of Things) ↩︎
