    Even the best writers use editors to review their work—because they want their writing to be as clear and effective as possible. Your knowledge may be extensive and your ideas creative and wonderful but, if the quality of your writing is not up to par, it won’t matter. I can help you achieve excellent, error-free writing and create a polished document to impress a professor, committee, granting body, or journal editor.  As a teacher, I am dedicated to helping others learn. As an editor, I am knowledgeable and up-to-date; I can help you polish your writing and improve your craft overall. As a person, I am supportive, encouraging, and understanding.

    "Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public."  -  Winston Churchill I understand, because I am a writer as well as an editor. Before you fling your book anywhere - the junk drawer, your dog, or especially the public - let's work together to ensure that it is the best it can possibly be.
