Beta Reading
Do you need a second pair of eyes? Well, I have four (with glasses)
Editing
I love dissecting the pages of a manuscript; like a mad scientist’s assistant noticing the flaws in the stitching (Igor, who put the foot where the head goes?)
Proofreading
Vini, vidi, typo! Allow me to spot the molehill (I’m looking at you alot) on the mountain of your (nearly) publish-worthy work
Storytelling: the art of taking one person’s thoughts, experiences, and emotions and transferring them to another, regardless of time and space (synonyms; Jedi Mind trick, mass hypnosis, temporary disassociation, Vulcan mind meld, quantum leaping, or unsuspecting customer at the interdimensional used Delorian lot)
goal-oriented writing
What are your goals?
Do you want to self-publish a book? Great! Do you want to be traditionally published? Awesome! Do you want to wow your friends with an immersive D&D campaign? Fantastic! Define your writing goals and we will make a plan to achieve them.
We write words intentionally. It may seem oxymoronic; after all, we intend to have the words on the page derived from the story in our minds. But a fundamental element of exceptional writing is allowing the reader to understand your intention.
Is your narrator supposed to be invisible? Is your book intended to be meta and ironic? Is your main character meant to be likable? Is the prose designed to be verbose and distant? Is your magic system purposefully vague? Does your setting intentionally lack detail to allow the reader to fill in the blanks or do you want the intricate features to be clearly conveyed? These are the types of questions I might ask. I am here to make sure the words on the page match your imagination’s intent. We want your readers transported to the same world.
Nature and nurture

I write, so do you
I love reading and writing fiction; and I’m thinking you do too (sorry, this site is not intended as a repository for cat-sneezing videos). What I have discovered as a teacher, writer, and editor is that helping others with their writing feeds my interpersonal and creative soul.
What’s that up in the sky?
Fantasy and science fiction are the best genres. There, I said it—no backsies. I enjoy other modes of fiction too, don’t get me wrong; but there is something irresistible about a story that takes the edge of reality and propels it outward. I still remember the lion who whisked me through a wardrobe in fifth grade. To this day, my mind can’t stay out of the clouds.
