Meet the Editor
Hamilton-based line- and copy editor and
award-winning published author
I’m a fiction and nonfiction editor who adapts to a wide range of writing styles and tones.
I specialize in editing fantasy, historical fiction, eco-fiction, travel fiction, and YA.
When I’m not working through a client’s manuscript, I’m likely singing and playing bass or keys in the femme-pop group, Minuscule, or singing and dancing with kids at Music Together Giggle & Groove. (Did I mention singing?)
I also love to weave melodies, move in nature, daydream, and use my light as a force for good.
I’d love to discuss your current project. Message me for a quote or free sample edit!
