About

To quote The Elements of Style, "Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar." You bring the faith, I'll bring the grammar.

I earned my professional writing skills working for a lawyer who laughed out loud at misplaced apostrophes and then made fun of me in Latin ("Feeling non compus mentis today?").

I learned to mimic voice and style as a playwright, in which I have a degree from the University of Washington (cum laude). I developed my ear for other people's way of talking and writing by listening to them speak so that I could use their voices. I also learned about plotting and the arc and shape of telling a good story.

I've written two novels, numerous screenplays, a few plays. As an editor I have compiled and corrected handwritten journals for a planned memoir, corrected and polished countless cover letters and resumes, and drafted all manner of professional communications.

In short, if your project requires style, substance, accuracy and impeccable grammar, you've come to the right place.
