I am an established writing and editing professional, with a master’s degree in publishing, and over 20 years of editorial experience. After spending many years as a professional writer, and working for a literary agent, I turned my attention to book editing and have been helping authors and writers ever since. My keen eye allows for insightful feedback on your manuscript, website, or document. With the expertise of knowing what agents and publishers are looking for, I now dedicate myself to editing and proofreading manuscripts, and getting you ready for publication. I was a book reviewer for Kirkus, and I hold memberships in the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) and the American Copy Editors Society (ACES). My personal passions include animals, Vedic chanting, Ayurveda, American Sign Language (ASL), yoga, and all things spa. I am a Chopra-certified Primordial Sound Meditation teacher, a certified Master Law of Attraction practitioner, and am Level-1 certified in EFT (tapping).
