Literary.
My editing services span the genres of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, plays, and screenplays and can include in-line notes and/or overall feedback as well as phone or zoom consultations. From essays, poems, and 10-minute plays to full length novels and memoirs, I love inhabiting other worlds and helping writers take their craft to the next level with compassionate feedback and recommended tools and resources.
I’d start my day by checking email, Twitter, Facebook. Reading the “news”. I’d look at my to-do list and start working on something.
Copy Editing/Writing.
I assist companies and entrepreneurs craft their message for all aspects of marketing. Language is key to winking at your niche market without excluding your broader audience. As a former web designer and content editor for clients ranging from Harvard University, the National Institute of Health, and biomedical labs at MIT to local artists, real estate agents, and cultural and intellectual luminaries, I’ll help you wordsmith as well as consult on the full design of your materials for optimal user experience and flow.
Distractions aside, there was no real rhyme or reason to my workflow. The not-so-fun (but necessary) stuff kept getting neglected.
Personal Legacy Memoir.
With a deep respect for ancestry and reverence for oral histories, I have a passion for preserving the stories of elders for their grandchildren. This process includes conducting interviews, outsourcing transcription services, and penning a memoir that captures your voice to pass on your legacy for your grandchildren and beyond. So many of us regret never having taken advantage of the wisdom and stories of our elders when we were young, and so many of us have dreamed of writing a book about our lives only to find that life got in the way! I offer a compassionate space to translate your life’s work into a book for your descendants, an invaluable gift to your loved ones and yourself.
