Hello

## I'm a logophile.

Which is a fancy way of saying I love words. Always have — I wrote my first story at six and never really stopped.

For more than twenty years I've written and edited for clients of every kind: newspaper and magazine articles, website and SEO copy, blog posts, and books. I'm a published **author and poet**, an **editor**, and a **proofreader** who genuinely enjoys the last, careful read — the one that catches what everyone else missed.

Whether you're launching something new or fixing something that isn't quite landing, I'll help your words do their job: clearly, honestly, and in a voice that still sounds like you.

What I do

## Words, looked after at every stage.

### Copywriting & Content

Website copy, SEO content, articles, and blog posts written to be read — clear, organized, and easy to act on.

### Editing

Developmental and line editing that sharpens your ideas and tightens your prose without flattening your voice.

### Proofreading

The final, careful read. Typos, grammar, consistency — the small things that quietly protect your credibility.

### Ghostwriting & Blogging

Ongoing writing in your voice, so the content keeps coming even when you're busy running the business.

How I work

Every word earns its place. Every sentence pulls its weight. Every page reads like you meant it.

A little background

## Two decades, well-spent on words.

 Published author and poet. Twenty-plus years of bylines across newspapers, magazines, and the web. As a Rare Connector and a former BNI Launch Director, who's spent years helping other people get their message out — *and a reader who still thinks a well-made sentence is a small miracle.*

> A favorite client said something kind right here.

Client Name, Company · *placeholder — swap in a real testimonial*

Let's talk

## Tell me about your words.

Books, blogs, websites, or that one paragraph that won't behave — I'd love to hear what you're working on.
