My Methodology

As an Editor: I typically read your writing aloud to you, either in person or online, offering immediate feedback and copyediting as we proceed. This interactive method enables real-time revisions. While I can edit in a traditional manner, I prefer working directly with live clients.

As a Writer or Co-writer: My methods are customized to fit your needs, including recorded and transcribed interviews, collaborative drafting, rewriting your rough drafts, or outlining together. A two-hour interview can produce approximately 80 pages of raw text.

As a Desktop Publisher: I prepare final page layouts for books I have helped develop, guiding you through the printing or e-book conversion process.
