About
With over eight years of experience editing academic theses, yearbooks, poetry, fiction, and business documents, I delight in helping clients take care of structural flow and grammar while strengthening their authorial voice. If you're having trouble getting that romantic scene to sound both swoon-worthy yet foreboding at the same time; writing a bold email without stepping on any toes; or you just didn't have enough time to proofread your article, contact me and we'll get to work.
