About me
Welcome! I'm a book editor, writer, and former writing teacher from Minnesota offering manuscript critiques, developmental editing, and copyediting for fiction and memoir writers since 2012. You can also find me writing about truth in storytelling in Pen and Mirror, my Substack newsletter. I love to see authors fill their writing with truth, whether that’s through self-honesty, insightful takes on the world around us, or stunningly realistic details.

Jun 2012 - Present14 yrs 1 mo

I’ve been editing books since 2012. I earned my B.A. in English Writing from a private college where I went through a rigorous writing and editing program and came away with internship experience in nonprofit writing and book editing. After graduating, I spent six years teaching high schoolers part time between a private school and a homeschool co-op while I grew my editing business. While I still tutor teens in writing occasionally, my focus is on helping book authors grow in their craft. I offer a mix of editing services: developmental edits, copyedits, line edits, and query package edits. My focus is on fiction and memoir, though I've worked with other nonfiction projects on occasion.
