Writing/Editing
I have written/edited everything from an embedded internet system manual to a collection of WWI love letters. It's very possible that I can help you! To get started, I offer free writing analysis and project estimates.
I've spent most of my career in the Writing /Editing /Publishing industry, and have experience in a wide variety of projects:
technical writing

writing coach
Editing Services
I will consider editing family-friendly writing, without horror, erotica, graphic violence, or the occult.
There are several different levels of editing and I will work with you to fit your budget. I believe that some editing is always better than no editing!
Take the first step and request a free writing analysis and project estimate. I would be happy to look at a chapter of your writing and let you know how I can help. Contact me.
Why Edit?
Let me help you create a product that allows readers to enjoy or learn from your writing without "distractions."
Distractions can take many forms including errors in grammar or word choice, awkward sentences, poor formatting, inconsistencies, plot holes, etc.
These things make your work difficult to read, causing frustration to your readers. It's hard to appreciate what you're reading when the words don't flow smoothly.
Understandably, it's hard for authors to catch all of the problems in their own work. Somehow your brain tends to fill in missing words and clarify thoughts because you already know what you want on the page.
