About Your Editor and Writing Coach

I’ve always loved working with words. In high school I wrote poems in literary club, and in college I penned reviews of music albums for local newspapers. During my Ph.D. in communication at USC, I learned the ropes of academic publishing and was mentored by leading academics. I wrote award-winning articles in leading journals and several successful books. After graduating in 2015, I taught at leading Universities like USC and UCLA. Eventually I realized I wanted to use my teaching skills, communication expertise, and insider publishing knowledge to help academics navigate the treacherous world of publishing. Sadly, I saw few options for academics looking for writing help!

Since then I’ve developed a unique approach to academic editing and writing coaching. It’s proven rigorous enough to be effective at research-intensive universities. My professor and graduate student clients have published their writing in leading journals and academic presses. And because I taught at the University level for over 15 years, my services go far beyond just changing words on the page. Through one-on-one conversations, activities, and editing, I can demystify academic publishing and help you improve your writing!

I’ve road-tested this approach with academic clients for the last five years and now can help you directly. I offer a range of services for all budgets, from free online resources to affordable one-on-one coaching, and complete edits of your article, book proposal, or book manuscript. And if you don’t see exactly what you need, please contact me for a complementary consultation.
