What I do

The publishing industry can be a daunting place for people who simply want to get their work out into the world. Thankfully, the internet has evolved to allow for nearly anybody to not only publish, but even monetize their work in ways we haven’t seen before, completely outside of the consolidated world of publishing houses. Gone are the days of posting typo-filled writing to fan fiction forums and publishing your own work online is a truly viable option. Your work deserves to be polished whether you really are just publishing to fan fiction forums, self-publishing your novel on amazon, or even submitting a manuscript to a publishing company. Putting your work out there is scary enough on its own, let me give you the peace of mind to know that your work is the best it can be.

About Me

As well as being a creative myself, I am passionate about creative people. I really do just enjoy reading the art that people create. Because of this, my approach to editing is sensitive and flexible, focusing on the specific needs and individual style of writers. Grammar as a concept exists to convey ideas as clearly as possible and its usefulness extends only this far. I find that this approach leads to work that feels both polished and well put together, without neutering the style of the author.

I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, but I am currently enjoying living in Portland, Maine with my cat. In my free time I enjoy reading, making cocktails, and skiing. I would love to start sea kayaking if I can figure out where to keep all the gear.
