Proofreading, editing, & Mentoring

I am a professional writer with a Ph.D. in creative writing and a creative writing mentor at the University of Westminster, London. I have worked on and edited dozens of podcast scripts, novels, and essays.

Proofreading/Manuscript Critique Service: Does your novel need a good polish? Do you need a fresh pair of eyes to highlight what is or isn’t working? Whether it’s character issues, plot, or structure, I can help elevate your manuscript to the next level.

Mentoring Service: I provide targeted support to MA and Ph.D. students in the early stages of their research, supporting their academic and creative studies and advising on potential career aims. As a mentor, I offer in-depth critiques of students' work, including short stories, novels, poems, plays, and creative nonfiction pieces and essays. I work with students to help them achieve their academic and creative goals. I take a personal interest in the mentee’s professional development and share experience and knowledge to support it.
