It is my mission to ensure accuracy, fairness, and taste in anything my clients intend to publish. It is my job to make you look good!

Since I was a kid I have always been the one to find the error in things. Whether it be written material, movies, or the too good to be true products at the store, I could always find the mistake and my memory rarely failed. I excelled in college, graduating with a 3.0 in Psychology. I also excelled in the military because of my writing and editing ability. As a new Airmen in the Air Force, I had officers coming to me to edit, rewrite, or create documents ranging from presentations to letters to commanders in order to save careers. A good editor makes the copy better every time they touch it, but the greats do the same for the authors that produce the copy, by opening an otherwise not so open mind to endless possibilities. Editors create fine stories by typing on a keyboard composed of human heart strings. Knowing which key to hit, when, and how hard to press it is both an art and a craft. A great editor is like a great meatloaf, by which I mean: There is a multitude of varieties, and all get the job done, deploying different recipes for the same result, which is your nourishment. A meatloaf is going to have nonnegotiable elements: meat, an egg or two, and bread crumbs, and probably onions. A great editor, however, is also sure to have a certain touch of ingredients that make it their own. A great editor makes a writer feel safe and supported enough to take chances, but pipes up when they’re taking a truly stupid chance. A great editor revels in your best moments often enough to soften the mentions of your worst moments. A great editor remembers that you’ve used a joke twice before and that it was only funny the first time. A great editor is one who pushes a writer to widen a story’s scope or one who recognizes an impact in the story that the writer might not have seen initially. Most importantly, a great editor stands behind the writer throughout the process and through any firestorm that ensues. A spine of steel is imperative.
