I help academics, businesses, and nonfiction writers express complex ideas with clarity and confidence.

As both an editor and an author, I bring a thoughtful, collaborative approach to every project—one that strengthens your writing while preserving your voice.

With experience spanning developmental editing, line editing, writing, and self-publishing support, I work with clients at every stage of the creative process. Whether you’re shaping a manuscript, preparing an article for submission, or refining your professional writing, I help you build structure, coherence, and impact.

Before editing full-time, I spent eight years teaching writing at DePaul University. That foundation in rhetoric and communication informs everything I do: helping writers see not just what they’re saying, but how their ideas connect and resonate.

Books I’ve edited have been published by MIT Press, Duke University Press, and others. My own essays have been recognized by The Best American Essays and the Pushcart Prize.

Thoughtful editing. Clear strategy. Writing that connects.

Services

Developmental Editing

If you’re shaping an early or in-progress manuscript and need guidance on structure, argument, and flow, developmental editing offers big-picture clarity. We’ll uncover your throughline, refine organization, and strengthen your voice across the whole work.
Best for writers developing or restructuring a manuscript.

Line Editing

When your ideas are solid but the writing still feels uneven or flat, line editing helps refine the language itself. Together, we’ll polish tone, pacing, and rhythm so your sentences carry the confidence and clarity your ideas deserve.
Best for writers ready to elevate their prose and style.

One-on-One Workshopping

Ideal for writers who want to grow through conversation and active practice. In these collaborative sessions, we’ll work on pages, habits, and process to help you develop authority and ease in your writing.
Best for writers seeking interactive editorial guidance and skill-building.

Coaching

If you’re seeking mindset shifts, accountability, or creative renewal, coaching provides focused, supportive guidance. Drawing on my years of university teaching, I’ll help you strengthen both your thinking and your performance as a writer and communicator.
Best for writers or professionals building confidence, focus, and creative momentum.
