Editing is collaboration. Working with clients either at the professional level or new writers brings me joy.

My only goal as an editor is to preserve the author’s voice and strengthen their vision for whatever project they need. It is not about me; it is about the written word, to fortify it into the client’s voice and vision.

Welcome to

Fortify Your Written Word

Every writing project can greatly benefit from the objectivity of fresh eyes and an experienced editor. Let me provide that fresh look to bring your writing to the level you need. Regardless of the immediacy or scope of your writing, I promise to deliver on-time and accurate editing according to any professional, academic, or occupational writing style that you may require.

A client asked me to edit these four pages of resume. As he sent it tom me, a resume like this would have never made it to the hiring manager. It was too long, too packed with text, and was difficult to navigate. When it comes to resumes, more is not better. It should entice the company to meet you and give them the information they need within seconds not minutes.

I was able to edit his original resume into a clean and easily navigated two pages. The first page gives the hiring manager all need information in a clean and professional layout. The second page provides some supplemental information. Using editing and experience I was able to whittle down some of my clients longer narratives into concise and succinct statements.
