EDITORIAL SERVICES FOR WRITERS, ARTISTS & SCHOLARS
Are you working on a piece that’s almost there—but not quite? Whether you're stuck at the idea stage or fine-tuning a final draft, I'm here to help you move the needle on your writing project.
I love working with authors on essay collections, long-form reported stories, and creative nonfiction works. I value direct and clear communication, realistic timelines and receptiveness to feedback. I approach editing as a creative, collaborative and iterative process with deep respect for mutuality and momentum as the double-engine to fuel an editorial project.
I offer a unique blend of developmental editing and line-editing. This usually means we'll work together to carefully consider big-picture questions around structure & organization, content development, audience & purpose, argument & evidence, voice & tone. This goes hand-in-hand with line editing at the sentence level, helping you forge your own voice, style, and rhythm.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients--authors, academics, journalists, and artists—across genres including creative nonfiction, poetry, scholarly work, and experimental forms. My clients have gone on to publish in major outlets, win grants, and complete ambitious projects—from book-length manuscripts and artist statements to doctoral dissertations and college admissions essays.
As a seasoned writer, editor and traveler with a global perspective, I approach an editing project the way I've always loved a good edit, with compassion, commitment and creativity.
I offer tailored editorial support for your manuscript or work-in-progress in two main ways:

As a former educator, my thoughtful, collaborative approach sets me apart. I don’t just critique—I help you clarify your vision, deepen your ideas, and get to the next stage of the process with confidence.
