I offer writing with professionalism and a creative flair, in addition to top-level editing services. I am co-author of Rebuilt from Broken Glass: A German Jewish Life Remade in America, the memoir of Fred Behrend, whose family escaped Nazi Germany for Cuba and ultimately the United States, and The Empathy Advantage: Coaching Kids to Be Kind, Respectful, and Successful. I am also a former award-winning newspaper reporter. My years in the profession give me a trained ear for what draws a reader's interest and the ability to hit deadlines. My decades editing for newspapers and elsewhere allow me to provide crisp, clean copy. I write and edit everything from social media materials to reports to full-length books. I edit in Chicago, APA, and AP style.
