About

Words that Connect

As a freelance writer and editor, I express in words the amazing things my clients are doing. I help them shine through all the online noise. To connect with the people who need what they offer. To share wisdom and thought leadership that helps whole communities.

I help readers too. I hear their struggles, needs, hopes. I write and edit to show them what’s possible. How my clients can help them — expressed in words that connect uniquely to their situation.

Whether I’m writing or editing, my pen is here to help make connections, start conversations, answer questions, solve problems, share insights, build trust, and bring benefits.

In a blog or in a book, in business or in a life story, I have the privilege of connecting author to reader in ways beyond anything they might have hoped for. I love watching those connections and transformations happen, to everyone’s benefit.

And as a writing coach, I’m privileged to encourage other writers to connect with readers in helpful and meaningful ways.

I never cease to be excited and amazed at watching words come to life, as they guide, encourage, and inspire.

Feel free to reach out to learn more about my writing, editing, and coaching services.

My Professional Training Experience

These workshops are where I learned the ins and outs of writing, editing, and working with content and books. I have also participated in regional and genre workshops, conferences, writing groups, critique groups, and worked with professional editors on my own manuscripts. Most of my best experience has been hands-on over the years working with my amazing clients. What a privilege!
