CREATIVE SERVICES

DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

I’m pleased to offer developmental feedback and line edits for short stories and essays. I’ll provide constructive notes that meet you where you are, whether you’re workshopping a first draft or polishing a final one.

I have ten years of experience providing and receiving feedback on creative writing. Developmental editing with my colleagues is central to my writing process, and I’d be delighted to be a part of yours.

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.
