"Being better
improves
your chances
immeasurably."

  That you’ve come here means you recognize a truth about today’s publishing industry: that having your manuscript analyzed and shaped and perhaps edited before submission to an agent or publisher is a good idea. You’ve also discovered that there are dozens of people offering to do the job for you and you have to decide among them, a choice as personal and serious as choosing to share your stories with the world. I think you’ve arrived at the right place.

As an award-winning editor with more than thirty years experience in mainstream publishing, as an author, and as a writing teacher, I know not only the art and craft of writing, but the business as well. I know how to help you write the best book of which you’re capable right now, and can show you how to put those lessons to work for your next effort. And I respect what you’ve done, what you’ve chosen to write, and work with you from that perspective, just as I expect that from my editor.

I can’t promise that you’ll have a bestseller when we’re done, nor can I promise that I can get you published: No one can do that. But I can improve your chances, level the playing field and make you better—and being better improves your chances immeasurably.
