My unique background gives me a discerning eye for editing fiction, nonfiction, poetry, plays, and screenplays. With eclectic tastes and outré interests mixed with a nearly unrivaled enthusiasm for living language and the written word, I strive to inspire writers from all horizons to stay true to their artistic journey and support their authentic voice. A naturally disciplined writer with a passion for storytelling, I thrive on supporting others courageous enough to bring their experiences and ideas to the page — then the world. My approach is holistic, involving things that fall outside the traditional writing world, enabling me to provide support ranging from generating fresh work to fine-tuning polished drafts to querying agents and getting published.
"In love, nothing exists between heart and heart. Speech is born out of longing."
Rabia al-Basri, first female Sufi saint, 800 AD
