Writing & Editing

Find the Words.

You have something to say.

You don't have to know exactly what you want to say or how to say it. I can help get your thoughts together and put them into words. Convincing words. Poetic words. Words that call to action.

Above are two of my toughest assignments for proofing, a cookbook and the text of the US Constitution. But my highest-stress proofreading job was a list of donors to be inscribed on the wall of a visitor center. Hey, it's not like we're carving it in stone! Oh, wait… (By the way, we had no typos.)
