Where it all started! After getting my Bachelor of Arts in Writing, my passion for the craft was unabated, and I was ready to explore more of this field.

This was my first internship in college, where the idea of freelance editing first became an idea. While I had always dreamed of being an author (and still do), this is where I first recognized the joy of helping others achieve their dreams, along with learning the ropes of owning a business and expanding my knowledge of grammar rules. Here, I edited a litany of novels, newspaper articles, dissertations, and short stories.

At Zondervan (an imprint of HarperCollins), I also worked as an intern to study more of the traditional publishing process, starting from the very beginning of how to craft query letters to literary agents to the printing process to understanding the business model of selling, distributing, and beyond.

My dip into journalism with The Western Journal included quick turnarounds with finding appropriate, newsworthy topics, writing newspaper articles—namely around politics and business and sports—and fact-checking for accuracy.

At Georgetown Learning Center, I worked as a writing tutor for undergrad college students across the country, hosting online classes catered around specific grammar lessons and offering one-on-one sessions to improve students’ essays, theses, and dissertations.

Once I realized fictional book editing was really where my interests lay, there was no turning back for me. Now, for more than six years, I’ve taken all I’ve learned to help hundreds of authors prepare their books for either traditional or self-publishing and have given them the knowledge and support to get them there. Whatever your book, whatever your story, I’ve seen it all, and I’m ready to help with yours too!
