Most developmental editors will take your manuscript, mark it up, and send it back to you a few weeks (or months) later with a report of changes to make and instructions for further edits. But after you've invested thousands of dollars into a professional edit, self-editing your story again can feel a bit like a never-ending hamster wheel of revisions. 

​

I want to get you off that wheel. For good.

​

I love a good story and believe that writing is a skill anyone can develop with a little practice and the right person on your side. That's why I do things a little differently than most other developmental editors.​

​

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from Saint Michael's College and have completed several training courses through the Editorial Freelancers Association, of which I'm a member, as well as several other courses for professional development. I also read craft books on the regular.

​

The keys to success are hard work, heart, and creativity, and I put all of those into every story path and project. Because, at the end of the day, I crave an emotional connection to the stories I read, and I want your novel or memoir to create an emotional connection for your readers.

 

When I’m not editing, reading, or writing, you can find me with messy hair and a do-or-die attitude battling dastardly grasshoppers in my organic backyard garden, baking with my family, or staring into the universe’s star-crusted abyss to wonder, “What if?”
