With over 2 decades of freelance writing, editing and research work and nearly 10 years as Editor in Chief for a small art publishing company, I have honed a unique set of skills for taking even the roughest material and wrestling it into a clear, cohesive, and intriguing article, story, or book. I work equally well with fiction and non-fiction since the primary skills for great editing, in either case, is in the organization of ideas and creating an effortless flow of language and I have those skills in spades. I am a published writer of poetry, essays, short stories, non-fiction articles, and books as well as being an award winning artist and speaker. I look for special freelance jobs because of those serendipitous opportunities to learn and meet unique and inspiring individuals and businesses.
