Profile

Quote or Key Phrase

As a writer, you have something important to say. As an editor and reader, I am inspired by powerful writing, whatever genre you write in. I ask questions and make editorial suggestions that strengthen your voice and your message so that your writing makes as big an impact as possible on as wide an audience as you wish to reach.
