No matter what subject matter you're working with, everyone wants to become the best writer they can be—but there are times when every author can use the help of a caring, easily approachable, knowledgeable professional.
If you're serious about making your writing sparkle, I can help, regardless of whether your project needs simple editing or a complete rewrite. I can also help if English is not your first language and you need help turning your words into picture-perfect English.
I’ve published four books of my own, ghosted thirty more, sold more than 1,000 articles, done more than 1,000 manuscript analyses, taught freelance writing classes, edited several newsletters for various organizations, worked for newspapers and magazines, and edited more than 200 books for authors in fourteen countries around the world.
One book I worked on won an IPPY for "Best Business Book" from the Independent Publishers Association, and one of my articles was voted "Best Personality Feature of 1999" by the Iowa Newspaper Association.
Since 1996, I’ve written a humor/inspiration column for Iowa's largest rural monthly, reaching a quarter million readers. I've done web writing, copy writing, and I spent time as a staff writer for Oregon's largest entertainment monthly.
My experience is extensive and wide-ranging. How can I help YOU?
