The power of graphic novels! 9yo woke up before the sun, headed straight for the reading light, and started reading GUTS. We haven’t seen him reading by choice in years, even though our house is full of books. Thankful for the school librarian that put this in his hands at just the right time (his brother has GUTS on his shelf lol) 💛

Please warn your pregnant employees before you turn the heater on 🥵

Drive-thru hopes and dreams

Twelve years ago, a hurricane was on its way. I called the hospital three weeks before my due date because my water broke from the barometric change. Twelve hours later, unto us a hurricane was born.

My 9yo really is my son 😭

Got a smile out of the sick baby who kept me up all night. 🥹 #leftylucychew

About Me

I've been grading grammar homework since 2005 and editing fiction and poetry since 2008. In 2013, I started editing comics and full manuscripts for novelists and literary agents.

Read "7 Reasons to Make Me Your Editor."

In 2015, I assembled a team of freelance editors of various specialties.

In 2020, I earned my MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at Hamline University.

See what I'm up to.
