I met a puppy today! Cleaning out last year’s student work left from before Spring Break (the seniors never came back), I recognized a name—one of my former preschoolers! 👵🏻 She came to get her sketchbook and I got to meet her puppy 😍 Neville will be very jealous and probably won’t sit with me when I get home, but floppy puppy scritches were worth it.

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 2018, I started my MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at Hamline University.

See what I'm up to.
