Editing is a sign that you believe in the work— that it is worth the investment

Sharing your work is intimate, but it doesn’t need to be scary. Trained in the Storytelling Method, I practice compassion and curiosity in every interaction. With notes on grammar, style, and form I also provide tailormade exercises to help you nurture your work. It’s all about getting your hands dirty.

If you’re looking to get a tune up on a specific piece, I’m your mechanic.
If you’re honing your craft, I’m your toolbox.

could be for

writers just starting their journey, long lost ideas, writers who need other writers, students in any discipline, one shots, internal affairs, external, communications, the excited, the passionate, the fearful, and the stuck, people with a wild hair up their ass

you already have something, don’t you?

Get Curious

  • Editing is a term I use to speak to an a la carte structure:

    You give me the piece, I edit, and we have a bit of back and forth to discuss the specifics of the work.

    Mentoring is focused more so on the skill of that artist. It works similar to a subscription, you’ll pay a flat rate for a month to have access to my expertise. Learn more on Patreon.

  • Absolutely! If you have a writing or artist group, I can lead a workshop made for the needs of your collective. These are done either on zoom or locally in Chicago.

    Want to organize a popup at your bookstore, coffee shop, or bar? (Yoga studio? Amusement Park? Classroom?) Email me the details!

  • Consultations are always free. Shoot me an email that tells me where you’re at, where you’d like to be, and what makes you hesitant.
