TEACHING

I founded Lounge Writers in 2018 to connect writers of all levels and genres with highly qualified instructors who can pass on the tools of the creative writing trade. In addition to teaching online workshops, I regularly invite bestselling and award-winning authors to lead their own classes.

BOOK EDITING & COACHING

Every great book benefits from another experienced set of eyes. As an award-winning author, college English professor, and book editor and coach, I've helped hundreds of writers strengthen their manuscripts while preserving their unique voice.

I offer developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, editorial assessments, and one-on-one book coaching for fiction and nonfiction writers at every stage of the writing process. Whether you're revising a first draft or preparing for publication, I'll provide honest, thoughtful feedback tailored to your goals.

As a trilingual editor, I also enjoy working with non-native English speakers.

What You Can Expect

When we work together, you'll receive more than corrections on the page. My goal is to help you become a stronger writer. I believe in honest, encouraging feedback, clear revision strategies, and practical guidance you can apply long after your current project is finished. Every edit is collaborative, and every recommendation is made with your voice and vision in mind.
