You’ve written something. You know it’s good. How good, you aren’t sure, but you’re ready to find out. You want to know whether your prose is crisp, your characters magnetic, your climax cathartic—the journey worth it. You've been working so long, you no longer see your work with clear eyes.


You've arrived at that moment, the moment every writer knows, when your work must leave your hands to achieve its potential.


I'm a developmental editor with 20 years’ experience. I will not “fix” or “doctor” your “broken” story. I will roll up my sleeves and get into the weeds with you, assess your work, identify your strengths and blindspots, maximize your vision, and send you back to work completely inspired.


Send me a few thousand words, and I’ll send you a free sample edit. I’ll show you how I work, how much I love this craft, and how much I love helping writers tell their stories. You’ll feel seen, heard, respected, and appreciated.

“I’ve never seen anything like your critiques in all the classes and workshops I’ve attended. They are always so thorough, and balanced, and kind.”


Emerson MFA student
