Welcome

All writers need an editor - someone to bounce ideas off, to find the holes they cannot see, to identify the questions that elude them because they are too close to their work. They need a trained eye to shape and polish their prose, to make it the best that it can be.

Through a 25-year career as a national award-winning columnist and the editor of two books published by W.W. Norton, I have worked with some of America leading writers. They include the novelists Stephen King, Edwidge Danticat, Lee Smith and Jonathan Lethem; historians Peter Gay, Timothy B. Tyson, H.W. Brands and John David Smith; science and environmental writers Adrian Bejan, Scott Weidensaul and Phillip Manning, and the memoirists Haven Kimmel, Sven Birkerts and Anthony Walton. Whether you are writing a novel or short story, memoir or work of nonfiction, a college essay, Master's thesis or doctoral dissertation, a magazine article, Op-ed column, scholarly paper or book proposal, I can help you find the words that do justice to your ideas without breaking your bank.

Writing is a bridge between your brain and the world. It supports and carries your best insights, presenting them in concise, engaging, effective language that brings readers over to your side.
