"Why I write" is such a deep question, when you dig beyond "because I love it and I'm good at it." I write because of people who wrote things that made me think about the world differently and changed me as a person. I therefore write with the same purpose, to inform and entertain, melding 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀, 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝗔𝗣 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲, 𝗦𝗘𝗢 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝘃𝘆, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, and 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴. With each year I write, I add further tools to my toolbox. I am always learning, always bettering the caliber of service I provide.As an editor, I edit with the preservation and growth of the writer's voice in mind. A better writer not only requires fewer edits, but grows in confidence and capability, delivering increasingly daring copy. I'm meticulous, while encouraging fun with language. I believe in communication as much as I believe in making deadlines. It's imperative, and crucial to my and the project's success.𝗔𝗜Is an amazing tool. . . for brainstorming, overcoming writer's block, poking holes in plots, bouncing ideas off of, tutoring, double-checking analyses, and otherwise thinking of what you wouldn't. I fear it as much as I would an assistant, and use it often—just not to write or edit. My copy is my own. And I find AI editing programs stifling to creativity, even inhibiting the usual evolution of language through wordplay, sometimes adding errors by way of being helpful, other times exhibiting racial or cultural bias (my only "about me" hot take).If you’re looking for someone who can balance narrative craft, data analysis, and precise editing, let’s talk. I’d love to chat 1:1 about how I can meet your copy or manuscript needs.
