Freelance Proofreading
and Copy Editing

Welcome!
I've started this newsletter to reach out to authors looking for inspiration, tips, and the occasional laugh.  I'll be hosting some of my favorite authors, asking them several questions on their writing process (and maybe an off-the-wall question or two!).  Troublesome words and grammar will be addressed in the Helpful Hints section. 

If you have any topics you'd like to me to cover, drop me a line and let me know!  I look forward to working with each and every one of you to create the best manuscript possible!

I loved Kindred because it shows the differences between the prejudices of today and back then, and the writing style drew me in without problem. I love 1984 because it is such a great example of how society can be when the government has completely taken over, monopolizing the people’s thoughts and actions.
2)      Now that you have, let’s say—some life experience, what would you tell your younger self? I would tell my younger self to READ MORE
