Do you feel lost with a project? With many years of experience helping manage creative projects (literary, digital and new media worlds), I can help you weave through the complexities of a project you may be struggling with, helping you align from a place of heart and mind to joyously and effectively achieve the goals you have committed to. I have an acute interest in holistic forms of creation and integrate a practice that is part intuitive, part logic, part poetic. This service is for those looking for a unique yet palpable form of support.

Do you have a project you would like my feedback or guidance on? This is the option for you!
I like to call this my ‘pick my brain’ service! I have a deep wealth of information and experience with the realization of creative projects, with an acute focus on literature and publishing. With a decade of working in the world of language, I am well-versed in the art of creative communication and expression. I also come with a wealth of experience in the world of digital and new media and marketing, brand and business development, event organization, website and platform development, social media, scriptwriting, and journalism. This service is for those who have a project adjacent to these fields that are seeking consultation on a project and professional feedback. Together we can synthesize potential steps forward.
OPTION 3:
PROFESSIONAL WRITING SERVICES
50 cents per word + consultation fees ($100/hr)
Have a project that needs text generated for it? As a professional writer, I have a wealth of experience working in both artistic and business fields. I’ve written professional documents such as press releases, product descriptions (books, albums, etc), artist bios, websites, newsletters, as well as written for creative projects in digital media, VR, video games, interactive poetry, and more. I am also well-versed and trained in professional copywriting and can bring any of your ideas to life through the written word, ensuring the highest quality is achieved.
OPTION 4:
PROFESSIONAL EDITING SERVICES
$80 PER HOUR
As a freelance editor, I can help you edit your written texts in need of an expert eye. With a degree (minor) in Professional Writing and a decade working as a copyeditor, I am well equipped to help assist you in the sharpening of any text you may be working with.
My fields of specific experience lie in the editing of poetry collections (line edits, organization), novellas, novels, new media projects, articles, films, and scripts, grants (below), but am open to engaging other realms.

I have received a dozen grants over the past decade worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and have helped assist many others in successfully landing theirs. I am drawn to this work because it is meaningful to me to help others articulate their artistic vision and assist in effective and convincing communication methods, especially when it comes to the grant world. I can help you from scratch with an idea you have only formulated in your head, or help you take a first or second draft through to a final draft. I can also offer a copyedit of a close-to-final draft if you are further along the process. Together we will work through all the elements of the application, including a convincing pitch, a comprehensive budget, and effective support material.
