Wherever you are on your writing journey, I'll be there with you.
ABOUT ME
"Every word of every sentence matters."
When I decided to start my freelance editing business, that motto came to me within seconds. It perfectly expresses how I feel about writing. Your writing. My writing.
As my business has grown and I've done as much coaching as editing, a new motto sprang up one day:
"Wherever you are on your writing journey, I'll be there with you."
Trust is a requirement of the editor-author relationship. You must trust that I want your work to be of outstanding quality and I will perform my services in your best interests. After all, your work is a reflection of my work.
​
I promise to treat you and your work with courtesy and respect.
I am a member of:
Editorial Freelancers Association
National Association of Independent Writers and Editors
National Association of Memoir Writers
​
In my personal life, I love to play pickleball, ride my e-bike, hike, and listen to live music of all kinds. I often dance, but, fortunately, there is no video evidence.
I am a long-time member of and volunteer for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). I have served as a chapter president and am a certified classroom instructor for the NAMI program Family-to-Family. I brought those years of experience to my writing of Make a Difference with Mental Health Activism.
​
Long ago and far away. . . after receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications from the University of South Florida in Tampa, I began a career as a technical writer of software instruction manuals for telecommunications, insurance, cartography, and freight logistics companies, as well as corporate policy and procedure documentation and employee benefits handbooks. Big fun.
I have co-authored a book with Dr. Terri Lyon, Make a Difference with Mental Health Activism: No activism degree required - use your unique skills to change the world.
