I'm a freelance book editor with 20 years of experience in writing and editing. My focus is helping writers shape their manuscripts at the structural and conceptual level through manuscript evaluations and development editing.

When I work with a manuscript, I'm looking at the big-picture challenges: structure, clarity, emotional arc, whether your argument lands. I provide feedback inside your manuscript and in a detailed letter. My goal is to ask the questions that help you see your own work more clearly, without rewriting what you've already done right.

I'm also an author of The Obsidian Legacy, a series of 12 fantasy novellas compiled into four themed books. That work as a writer directly shapes my editing. I understand the stakes when a manuscript feels stuck, and I know what feedback actually moves a draft forward.
