About me
Hello! I've studied book structure and the art of writing and editing for nearly 20 years. I've written novels, a memoir, and picture books, and helped 1,000+ authors strengthen their fiction and non-fiction books. I offer collaborative copy, line, and developmental edits, and editorial feedback. Trained by both a major university in expository and creative writing and the government in journalistic writing and other forms of information sharing, my work can be found on digital platforms like Amazon, and the desks of governors and general assemblies. I look forward to working with you, too!... Read more

    Amazing—exactly what I needed. There were so many useful things I’d completely missed. I’ve read through my novel's chapter countless times, and I never realised just how much I was overlooking. I absolutely recommend to anyone who wants professional help!
