CREATIVE SERVICES
DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
I currently offer developmental editing services for short stories and novel excerpts. Through in-line comments, detailed feedback letters, and follow-up discussions, I help clients identify what is working and find actionable revision strategies. In later stages of a project, I can provide line edits.
Drawing on over a decade of experience workshopping stories, I’m pleased to help take your work to the next level.
COPYWRITING
Working with DRG, a Seattle-based agency, I write marketing and fundraising copy for nonprofits, museums, newspapers, and more. On an independent basis, I work with small businesses, writers, and artists.
From high-level strategy to sentence-level precision, I create marketing campaigns that drive results while keeping your brand’s voice and vision central. Please reach out by email, and I’ll follow up to discuss your project.
