About

You can write your way to healing.

I support, guide, and edit writers of various different backgrounds, to ferry their ideas and experiences to a polished final product. I have worked with published novelists and incarcerated, traumatized youth; college and graduate students; and adult writers at private literary centers. I have intensively edited thousands of manuscripts. I am particularly passionate to work with people writing about personal trauma and those working with a social / racial justice focus.

Lead editor for The Wild Familiar by Shaun A. McMichael, 2024, Cowboy Jamboree Press.

  • Assistant Editor

A crucial, timely, missing book in the canon of couples self-help. I hesitate to even describe this book in such a “genre”. This is a seminal piece of trauma-informed, hands-on, no-BS, work that will take those couples who are ready for healing down their own paths, with keen eyes to where they cross and where they might end up. I was humbled and proud to be a part of it.
