Helping you make the most of your words

I help you connect with your reader. As an editor I bring a kind but careful eye to your work, polishing your prose, ensuring it’s accurate and easy to understand, and preserving your voice. As a designer I create crisp, clean layouts that allow your words to shine. As a writer, I craft compelling text at a variety of levels for diverse audiences.

Whether you want to inform, entertain, persuade, promote or tell a riveting story, I help you make the most of your message. I love language, and I treat your words as carefully as I would my own.
