What Does This Mean for You?

  • I’m a compassionate, supportive, efficient, and experienced editor and writing coach.

  • Because I know how to teach writing I don’t just edit your book or give you a list of process steps…I teach the process to you. I explain why editorial recommendations are made; I tell you why each step of the writing process is important in our coaching…so you understand it and feel in control of the process.

  • With me, you get results. I put you on a schedule and help you stick to it. We work collaboratively; our relationship is not passive. I’m compassionate but efficient. You tell me your goals, and I bring you up to meet them.

  • I am accessible. We communicate throughout the process; whether I’m editing your work or coaching you, we stay in touch.
