If you return to my website daily and obsessively refresh the pages—not that I’d ever participate in such neurotic behavior—you’ll have noticed a new hierarchy in the main navigation.
I am happy to announce that anyone can ask for my help with writing and editing!
I’ve listed my various services and a test run of prices, compiled from online research and a lifetime of experience tweaking people’s words. These prices may be set in stone one day, but for now, I’m willing to negotiate depending on a client’s circumstances.
After years of plying my trade in semi-secret, I’d love to attract a new client or two. Every dollar helps to expand my publication budget, after all!
I’m also submitting blogs and articles to digital magazines, and I’m aggressively pursuing publication for my poetry and short stories in literary journals/small presses. Why? Why now?
I’ve already received a commitment from one website to publish an article!
As I work to explore new venues of publication, I hope you’ll consider requesting my help with your projects.

- I miss the thrill of a byline.
- I want to expand my portfolio.
- I relish the thought of additional income. (Who doesn't?)

Here are the services I now offer:
Writing
For a range of hourly fees, I’ll write you a cover letter, a blog post, a feature article, a speech, a press release, or even a delicately phrased email. The scope of the project influences the cost, and ghostwriting will cost more than writing credited to me.
Please note: I will not write scholarly essays for students. I will, however, help students improve their papers with my editing services. (In that instance, I'd call it "tutoring"!)

Heavy Editing / Personal Writing Trainer
This is my favorite service to offer! I’ll crack my knuckles and transform into your personal “writing trainer”—someone who'll dig deep into your prose and mold it into its best self. In this package, I’ll provide line editing, copy editing, and structural editing, and I’ll offer detailed commentary of my impressions, suggestions, and explanations.
Recently, I worked with a friend in this capacity, and she said, “I feel like you’re the equivalent of a personal trainer to my writing, refusing to allow sloppy form or lazy moments, pushing for 100% the entire time.”
That's a direct, copied-and-pasted quote!
If you’re looking for that kind of punishment--improvement, I mean improvement—then I’m here to push you!

Light Editing
If, on the other hand, you just want an objective eye to glance over your writing and check for glaring errors, this is the package for you. I’ll happily be your high-level sounding board, review your words, and make basic corrections.
I separated these two editing options because my brain approaches them as entirely different processes. It also helps me better anticipate what kind of feedback clients want.

Résumé Assistance
For many years, people have come to me for help with résumés. I have a skill for communicating job duties with complimentary phrasing, and I’m a formatting evangelist. Give me a rough or messy draft of a résumé, and I'll polish its content, phrasing, structure, and style!
Cover letters typically follow résumés—I'll give a good deal to those interested in both cover letter "Writing" and "Résumé Assistance."
