Whether you're a veteran author,  or just starting out as a writer; whether you're  an academic or an an artist - or a little bit of both - I pay attention to what you're after,  what is happening in your work, and what you say.    I can help you think,  and I can help your book get better. 

 What's the issue?

• Your novel is almost finished, but the plot has unraveled

• Your monograph is lurching between memoir and textbook 

• You're writing in a new genre for the first time

• You're writing about a new genre for the first time

• You're not sure how to select or arrange your poems/stories/chapters

• Something's the matter - and you don't know what

 How I can help

I read every word you write, looking  for consistency and clarity, listening for voice, and rhythm.    If something is not working, I know how to fix it.   

I also listen to YOU  - for what kind of writer you are and want to be,  for what's driving your project.     My goal is to help you write the book that only you can write.
