I am a poet and essayist, and I work in literary publishing as a copyeditor; I have six years of experience as an editor for several prominent literary journals, and as a teacher of university-level creative writing courses. I will give your developing work an editor's scrutiny and a teacher's care, and I will send you on your way better able to edit your own writing. [less]

  She's a kick-ass poet, too. :)   [less]
