Editing

Services

Am I a good fit?

I offer supportive and honest developmental feedback for literary, upmarket, and commercial fiction. As an experienced college writing instructor and tutor, I also help students with college admissions essays and higher-ed writing.

With me, you’ll find a balance between sensitivity and expertise. Sharing your work can be intimidating! I’m here to be the gentle, honest reader who helps you bridge the gap between your vision and what’s appearing on the page. I believe stories can be told many different ways, and I will support your distinctive voice rather than forcing your work into the wrong-shaped container.
