About me

Hello, and welcome!

Take a look around to find information on the different facets of my writing related work and services.

Writing and working with writers is my passion.

I began as an academic, focusing my studies and research in the fields of English as well as Rhetoric and Writing Studies.

I currently offer writing coaching, consulting, and editing services informed by both my areas of study and my work with academic, creative, administrative, business, and professional writers.

Creative writing brings me joy too, allowing me to challenge myself in new ways and flex different writing muscles than those used to write academically.

Welcome, again. I'm glad you're here.
