About me

I'm a copy editor for a news start-up by day, Word Crisper by night (and weekends). I've been a full-time journalist for more than 30 years.

My superpower as an editor is understanding what the writer wants to say, no matter how hidden, and helping them say it in their voice, not mine. I am well aware of the time and effort authors put in and how hard it is to give up control of their work, even temporarily.

I take my work seriously, but am easy to work with. Fun, even.
