Need a writer or editor? Great. I’m here to help.
My editorial philosophy is simple: Get the author out of his/her own way so that person’s true voice can be heard. It’s harder than it sounds, but it’s worth the effort.
To put you even further at ease: In addition to writing Growing Out and Lay It Down, here’s a sampling of other projects I’ve worked or am working on (and if you need something more “professional,” check out my LinkedIn profile and recommendations here):
