EXPERIENCE
Chasing commas from coast to coast
I know how hard it is to write just what you want to say. I'm an expert at helping writers find the right path and get their ideas on paper in a way that preserves the writer's voice and ideas but lets the words flow. I'm a specialist in smoothing text in a way that will keep a reader (or agent, publisher or studio head) reading what you've written.
I've been an editor since 1981, working at the Los Angeles Times, Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, Austin American-Statesman and other metropolitan newspapers. My book clients have included Taylor Publishing, Algonquin Books and several independent writers. My magazine work has included Texas Football and Hero Complex.
My work includes book development, coaching, initial editing, copy editing, proofreading, galley proofing and index checks. I've also been a reporter, staff writer and a freelance writer.
