About

When words matter (or you just need a cookie).

What I Do

I'm a Writing Coach for those times when you need someone to guide and goad you.

I'm a Developmental Editor (and a Line Editor) when you need a "frenemy" to tell you what works—and what doesn't.

I'm a Baker—because everyone needs a cookie from time to time.

I'm a word guy.

I've been working with words for as long as I can remember. Enjoying their sounds, their looks, and their amazing power.

Yes, I've got two English degrees, but long before those I was reading and writing and admiring words.
