My most vested passion in life is to help other people share their stories. I want to help to make sure that what you want to say gets said, and I want to make sure that your writing is as clear and strong as it can be with kindness and precision. Additionally, as an editor, my philosophy is to create a common language between the author and the reader. Editors exist in a unique space between the author and their readers, and making sure that the author's vision is conveyed clearly, and the readers' wants are achieved is the goal of my editorial work. I note this in order to ensure that we are on the same page about what you will be receiving from my editorial services. This is what you will receive in return for trusting me with your manuscript.

• Evaluation notes on how to move forward with your project

• One-on-one conferences in person or via zoom at the beginning and end of the editorial process to discuss goals and findings. 

• Evaluation does NOT include line editing, fact checking, or copyediting services. If you are interested in these further down the line, please reach out.

Copyediting and proofreading serve as final lines of defense against errors before a project goest to publication.
