Do you have a book idea — and an overwhelming sense of dread about getting back to the page? A novel that’s been percolating, stuck in your head for months… or even years?

Perhaps you have a manuscript that is *this close* but you need some honest, actionable feedback about what’s working, what’s not, and what your next steps are? Or you want a professional, objective eye on those first 50 pages before you send a round of queries?

Or hey, maybe you’re just up for random stories about language-learning, puppets, and what they’ve both taught me about writing?

You’re in the right place.

• My clients are novelists, memoirists, poets, non-fiction authors, and academics — including those at work on their first books and those who’ve been writing for years! I provide developmental editing, manuscript critiques, and writing coaching. I also take on the occasional copyedit or proofreading job for manuscripts that have already been edited and are ready for a final polish.

• I work with people developing their writing practice, whether you’re looking for more accountability and consistency as you begin a new project, or if you’re years-blocked and trying to remember how to bring joy and ease back to the process.

• I also work with individuals and organizations that need a writer for a proposal or project, or a facilitator for a writing workshop. I help people find their voice on the page, and I help writers make good stories better.
