About Me…
A Passion for All Writers:
As an English teacher with 25 years of experience and a freelance editor, I’ve honed my skills working with a diverse range of writers. Whether you’re an indie author, a blogger, a business owner, or a web developer, I will use my passion and experience to help you become a successful writer.
An Avid Reader:
When I’m not editing, you’ll find me snuggled with my dog and buried in a good book. My shelves overflow with everything from classic literature to contemporary romance. I equally enjoy nonfiction texts including memoirs, biographies, and essays. Reading fuels my editing prowess and my life—I understand what captivates readers, how to enhance storytelling, and how to present ideas clearly. I can help you feel confident that your writing is amazing!
Why I Started Sentence Savvy:
Sentence Savvy was born out of my love of words, language, and stories and my desire to help writers through the daunting process of going from idea to publication. My passion is in collaborating with authors to refine their writing. I love nothing more than sitting down with a manuscript and reading carefully to offer both positive feedback and constructive criticism. Sentence Savvy became my platform to help authors and writers realize their dreams and communicate clearly—one well-crafted sentence at a time.
