Writing Services

When most people pick up a pen, they become self-conscious and are stiffer than they would be speaking. In my work as a writer and editor, I’ve learned to listen for the rhythm and harmony of words.

The essence of good writing is a natural voice that is authentic. Good writing is also direct and “economical,” not taking more space than it needs and not meandering in a way that it confuses the reader. It is simple, yet not easy to achieve. It takes a long time to become skilled in the craft. My persistence has paid off, and I now have a handful of published books, with more on the way.

I also utilize some of my strengths as a writer—being clear, concise, and tracking the connection between concepts—in my work as an editor and, more recently, an indexer. These qualities were also honed in my 10 years of college teaching.

Having the experience I do placing my own books with publishers, working with agents, and self-publishing, I also offer a number of services for authors trying to publish books. I teach a class, Getting Your Nonfiction Book Published, in Boulder, Colorado, where I live and provide manuscript evaluation and help with book proposals to clients anywhere.

Please take a look at the more detailed pages on my site and contact me with any questions. I’d be happy to talk with you about your needs.
