Manuscript Editor

Originally from Vermont, I moved to the Midwest in 2006 for college. After completing my undergraduate studies, I spent two years living in Chicago; in 2012, I started my MFA program in Tuscaloosa, AL.

I am currently an MFA Candidate at one of the best writing programs in the country; it's one of two four-year programs in the United States. My previous experiences have helped me become well-versed in the conventions and styles of polished writing of all kinds, from creative to academic writing. I can provide many types of feedback, including fact checking and developmental, copy and line edits. My experiences mean that I have a keen eye for the mechanics of written English, while maintaining an ear for its inherent musicality.
