My Approach to Your Story

I am both a writer and an editor, and I see those roles as deeply connected. Editing isn't about stripping away your style—it's about strengthening it. I focus on clarity, flow, and structural engagement so your story lands exactly the way you intended, without losing the spark that makes it yours.

Because I spend my own days writing creative non-fiction, investigating regional journalism, and working on my own memoir, I bring a lot of empathy to the table. I know firsthand how challenging it is to look at your own messy draft and figure out what needs to stay, what needs to go, and how to pace the narrative.

How We Can Collaborate

I specialize in helping authors navigate the heavy lifting of narrative structure. If you are working on a project in these areas, we are likely a great fit:

• Memoir & Family History: Finding the clear narrative thread in complex, lived experiences.

• Creative Non-fiction & Long-form Journalism: Balancing deep research with compelling storytelling.

• Manuscript Development: Looking at the big picture of your draft to fix pacing, flow, and structural roadblocks.

Let’s Talk About Your Project

If you have a draft you are working on—whether it's a few completed chapters or a full manuscript that needs a fresh set of eyes—I’d love to hear about it.

You can drop me a note through the contact form and we can chat about your project, your goals, and how we can work together to make your writing the best it can be.
