About me

Editing is one of my special interests for many reasons. I won't carry on with my entire life story, but one of those reasons is that I really—I mean really—enjoy patterns, puzzles, and complexity.

I also believe details are incredibly important.
They are exactly what combine to create the big picture . . . and they have always been easy for me to notice.

Clarity is something I've always sought and been dedicated to enforcing by using accurate and conscious language. My desire for accuracy definitely comes in handy creating descriptions of most any kind.

These are just a few of many characteristics that come from my being neurodivergent. I have a lifetime of lived AuDHD experience, thirteen years parenting my AuDHD child, and have also homeschooled them for these past five years.

My point:
I understand the daily challenges of ND life and how they can affect the creation process. I’m an artist, too. In my spare time I greatly enjoy working on realistic graphite portraits of people and pets. I also have a love of words, rhythm, and music.

I know the drive of perfectionism and the necessity of freedom of expression in the art of writing.
I’ll help you get through times when confidence is lacking, when perfectionism is being restrictive, and all the time in between while working with you throughout the editing process.

If you understand how special interests work for AuDHDers, you can safely bet I’m dedicated to doing a stellar job in helping you get your story to its highest level of awesome.

Editing non-fiction throughout my other careers became a hobby-turned-uncompensated service I provided several of my co-workers and employers.
(You live, you learn, right?)

However, fantasy/fiction is what I adore. Give me the other worlds, the otherworldly, the "other" stuff. Take me out of reality and let me soak in the plots of the unknown. Toss me into the "what if this was what life was like?" ocean.
I enjoy fantasy the most, but I also value a good horror and adore some crafty, witty, nonsensical literature.

I earned my proofreading and copyediting certification in 2018.

I employ my aptitude for pattern recognition to help authors like you who want to avoid "cookie-cutter" novels—but still want things tidy—and enhance reader experiences in discovering new perspectives, making connections, and more.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know a few things about me and for your consideration. It'd be great to hear from you when you're ready to tackle some editing.
