CREATIVE WRITERS
Do you have a manuscript you are thinking about querying? Are you self-publishing and looking for that extra set of eyes after self-editing five different drafts? I'm here to help. I offer structural, stylistic, and copy edits. I will help find those inconsistencies, the parts that drag, the parts that rush, and those moments where the impact isn't quite what you want it to be. I will seek out those pesky punctuation errors, those sentences that just don't flow quite right, those moments where dialogue tags are needed, and when they are not. I will give your manuscript the love and attention worthy of the time you put into composing it.

Furthermore, I have a strong passion for history. Thus, I feel comfortable providing full editing services for the following:

From the customer-facing media releases and websites, to the internal white papers, technical manuals, or policy documents—I can ensure that your writing is correct, clear, and impactful.
