My experience as a newspaper copy editor developed a sharp eye for clarity, accuracy, and clean prose. A lifelong engagement with literature brings warmth and sensitivity to every manuscript. My goal is to strengthen your work while preserving the heart that makes it uniquely yours. I work best with authors who are actively engaged in shaping their manuscript and value thoughtful, collaborative revision.
