About me
I'm a freelance editor and wordsmith who can help you tell your stories more effectively.

    You provided some great information - I can tell you spent a lot of time thinking about my manuscript. Your suggestions for improving my manuscript, both general and specific, make a lot of sense. Thanks for giving me your "big picture" perspective. I look forward to implementing your suggestions, and I hope to work with you again.
