YOUR WORDS DESERVE TO SOAR; AMEND EDITING CAN HELP.

Your writing is important.

It is act of discovery, self-expression, and, ultimately, connection. When we share our ideas, experiences, and stories we bind other minds and hearts to our own. Writing then not only liberates ideas from the cage of our mind, it shapes society— ideally, to be more civil.

My job is to make this happen for you. I work at all levels of your writing to help your words go from your head into others. Think of me as your personal prose trainer. Like a physical trainer, through technical advice and instruction on form, I assist you reach your goals, and then I push you to even higher goals. Clear, convincing prose—writing that others will recognize as professional—that articulates your ideas and stories is attainable.
