About Me:
I will add eight years of experience to your writing projects, whether you need a simple proofread, want to increase the power of your words, or must follow stringent academic guidelines. Most of my projects are fiction/nonfiction manuscripts, dissertations, and journal articles, written by doctors, professors, post-graduate students, businesses, and fiction/nonfiction authors. I provide all levels of editing, and write highly effective book profile summaries, query letters, and press releases. I love meeting new people and beginning long-lasting partnerships. Let me know what you need and I will be happy to help!
