Editing

As an editor, my goal is to bring out the inherent strengths of the writing while honoring the author’s style and voice.

I am an experienced editor who is skilled at all levels of editing—from copy to substantive editing. I can see the big picture as well as the small, can work on the structure and continuity as well as the spelling and punctuation.

Because I believe it’s important that the author and editor have the same vision for the author’s work, I offer a free sample edit to determine from the start if the relationship is a compatible one.

Writing

 As an experienced writer and editor, I can help you write your web site, blog, or memoir.

I’m a trained journalist with hundreds of stories to my credit, ranging from news stories to in-depth feature articles. I’ve also written three novels and have a nature-oriented blog. My versatility means I can write in any style required—from factual web sites to literary writing.

Over the years, I have interviewed hundreds of people and written down their stories for publication. My aim has been to faithfully capture their words and feelings.  I can do the same thing for you.
