As an editor, my commitment is to the story itself. You have something beautiful to share, and I want to help you tell it in a way that is effective and accessible. Because of that, my focus is on deep, narrative edits that can amplify the reach and resonance of your work. 

Editing can look like rearranging paragraphs, refining ideas, suggesting alternative phrases, and reworking narrative frameworks. The goal is to help you tell stories that can truly connect with the communities and causes you care about. It’s in that spirit that I consider editing a conversation, and am here to talk anything out. 

I provide support on diverse projects. A “small” project might be an op-ed, essay, or short zine. A “big” project might be putting together a magazine, self-publishing a book, organizing an anthology, or transcribing materials.

What I Do

Deep and detailed edits • Narrative building

I’m here for in-the-weeds narrative editing. My skillset is specifically in supporting individuals and organizations craft impactful essays and curate meaningful media materials.

What I DoN’T DO

Proofreading • Book proposals

Although I do scan for grammatical errors, my focus is not on proofreading pieces. I collaborate with several amazing proofreaders, however, who can review your piece(s) before they are published.

Scope

I want to get you to a place where you can publish your work on your own platform or for an outlet. But my focus isn’t on the logistics of getting published (such as securing an agent or drafting a proposal). My passion is for the project itself so that you can go out into the world feeling confident in what you have to share. 

Rate

My hourly rate is $100. I offer sliding scale services as well. I ask you to truly consider the price point that feels energetically and economically sustainable for you and/or your organization when reaching out.
