Who am I, and why should you trust me with your words?
I specialize in fiction—Upper Middle Grade, Young Adult, New Adult, and Adult. My specialties are Contemporary, Fantasy, Romance, and Historical. I do offer editing for Submission Package Materials or Copyediting for other genres, so be sure to check with me to see if we're an editing match! I'm currently not a good fit for picture books, horror, thriller/suspense, and memoir, and I only offer copyediting services regarding nonfiction pages (I do not assist with nonfiction proposals or sub material).
Need some help with character development?
Need insight on plot structure or help with fact checking?
Wondering about the strengths and weaknesses of your prose?
How confident are you about grammar and spelling?
Although I am unable to guarantee agent interest/publication, I can promise I put my full ability into each submission, whatever the format. I am proud of the work entrusted to me and strive to help writers tell the best story possible.

And how about the other me, the everyday me? I live in sunny Florida with my partner and two cats Keiko & Nilly. I'm a huge fan of musical theatre, Doctor Who, Firefly, Supernatural, and Buffy. A Universal and Disney World passholder, you can often find me in a park every other weekend! Bribe me with my not-so-guilty pleasures—whisky, pickles, and karaoke—and we may just become best friends. |
