Writer & Editor

A Kansas girl with a Cali soul, I have writing experience that spans nearly two decades. Extensive research is simply a box on my daily checklist, and I love taking your ideas and expressing them with just the right words. Already have text in place and just need someone to clean it all up? I'll switch to my editor hat. If words are the work, I'm here to get the job done!

Please don't hesitate to ask me questions about my work. You will find links to more types of samples in the menu bar. If you're looking for a type of writing that you don't see here, let me know. I'd be happy to create a sample for you.
