Are you ready to elevate your manuscript from good to extraordinary?
As a writer myself, I understand the transformative power of another perspective on your manuscript. Writing is indeed rewriting, and having another set of eyes can make all the difference. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for helping writers craft compelling narratives, I specialize in narrative nonfiction, memoirs, and fiction editing.
With extensive experience as an editor, essayist, ghostwriter, and author, I'm here to bring out the best in your work. Like you, I'm an avid bookworm who loves nothing better than the magic of a good story, well told. For me, it's not just about the editing process; it's about fostering a genuine connection with fellow writers. Let's embark on a collaborative journey to make your work shine brighter than ever before!
Exciting news! My upcoming book, "Let’s Make Things Better," is set to hit shelves in Fall 2024 (Hachette/Pan MacMillan). More than a book about hope, Let's Make Things Better is a testament to my unwavering passion for meaningful storytelling.
Let's make things better for your manuscript!
