My Editing Philosophy:
I have a very goals-focused approach to editing. I ensure that your writing is not only technically correct, but matches the style, voice, & general vibe that you want it to!

I love acquisitions. I find myself turning down more manuscripts, for the wonderful reason that I’m brought more amazing manuscripts! I don’t enjoy saying no, but it's fun to say yes!

Being on the computer doesn’t mean being stuck inside. My favorite place to edit is outside in my backyard. I have a small table under a gazebo overlooking my koi pond, complete with Wi-Fi.

I had so much fun at the Pop-up Typewriter Museum at my favorite local bookstore @island.books ! For a couple days, the sounds of happy typing, giggles, and "Oh!"s filled the store with vintage vibe.
