Writing and Editing
Thank you for visiting my site. I am a Brooklyn-based writer and editor with more than fifteen years of experience creating sharp, engaging prose. From manuscript development to proofreading, I can help you complete your next project with clarity and concision.
Editing
Whether you’re a writer with a draft that needs fine-tuning or a publisher in need of a good line editor, I can assist. I especially enjoy making scientific and academic writing accessible and appealing to a wide audience.
Manuscript development
As a writer and teacher, I have a wealth of tools to help get your creative juices flowing, expand and organize your ideas, and produce a book proposal or full-length manuscript that lives up to your original flash of inspiration.
Writing
My essays, reviews, and features have been published in more than a dozen major media outlets, from the Boston Globe to the San Francisco Chronicle. As your writer or collaborator, I can turn your ideas and notes into a well-crafted book, proposal, or report.
Copyediting and Proofreading
A former staff copy editor at Scientific American and the San Francisco Bay Guardian, I can quickly give your work the final polish it needs, making sure it goes to press stylistically consistent and error-free.
