About me
Hi there! I’m an editor, proofreader, and published author splitting my time between San Francisco and London, working on both American and English manuscripts. I specialize in fiction, non-fiction, memoir, mindfulness, and spiritual titles. Because I’m a writer myself, I know the care that goes into a manuscript.
