Professional Experience
I've worked as a freelance writer and editor on topics dealing with everything from antiques collecting to small business management to finance. I've worked with individual authors, corporate publishing houses, and everyone in-between. As a fiction writer myself, I am sensitive to writers' needs during the editorial process and work hard to preserve an author's unique style and voice.
