About

Skip the confusion and the frustration! Let me—a professional editor | ghostwriter | fact-checker—help you!

My editorial training started in college, during the late 1970s, when typewriters, blue-lined dummy sheets, steel rules, scissors, and strip waxers were still the latest in journalism technology! I was even present the day we got our first electric headline-setting machine!

But, it doesn’t seem so long ago—because I’ve always totally enjoyed what I’ve done. With excitement and passion, I suddenly find I’ve accumulated more than thirty years of experience researching, organizing, editing, ghostwriting, and proofing materials such as books, manuals, and magazines for general audiences; labels, visitor guides, and teacher packets for museums; newsletters, blogs, websites, and collateral for non-profit agencies and small businesses; fiction and non-fiction materials for children and young adults; and memoirs, autobiographies, and personal, family, and company histories.

Over the years, I have helped all levels of writers with more aspects of writing than I ever could have imagined (and on all types of budgets and deadlines, as well)! As a freelancer the past several years, I worked for professional wordsmiths, coerced letter writers, and aspiring authors . . . anyone who needed a researcher-ghostwriter-editor-proofreader of their very own.
