Grammar Geek. Ivy League Graduate. California State Bar Licensed Lawyer.
Most importantly: Passionate about writing. About the English language. About using the perfect words. About writing succinctly and impactfully. About sequence, grammar and sentence structure. And above all: TELLING YOUR STORY.
Words are the building blocks of all of our stories. Who are we without language? Without the ability to express ourselves? Words are the prism through which we perceive and think. Through words, we dream, breaking free from the confines of reality. We imagine and realize what is possible. We use words to tell the narrative that gets us into college. On the resumes we submit to apply for jobs. On the self-evaluations we hope will earn us a promotion. On the newsletters sent to our clients. Our words can make us better than we are, highlighting our strengths, making us sympathetic and appealing. Conversely, sloppy, mistake-ridden or incohesive writing makes us look amateurish and unattractive.
My philosophy is simple: To present your best self, always use your best words, and always use them perfectly.
My superpower is not a sexy one. If I could have chosen perfect pitch, I might have. Alas, I’ll never be TSwift. But what I can do is hear a story or problem and know exactly how to communicate it for best results. I can tease out the tale you didn’t know was lying dormant inside. Or, I can look at your rough draft, and like a Tetris game in my head, instantly discern how to organize the pieces, and the right vocabulary to use. Like magic, I know what you are trying to say, and I say it, in your voice, with the right tone.
While it’s not a sexy superpower, I love my work. It’s incredibly fun and satisfying to help people express themselves. Because I love it, I’ve been providing writing assistance my whole life, beginning in high school, when straight As in Honors English led a teacher to recommend me for a tutoring gig.
Since then, I’ve helped countless high school students apply and matriculate to college.
Dozens of business owners have engaged me to write and edit copy for their websites and newsletters.
I’ve rewritten and perfected innumerable resumes.
I’ve enhanced employee self-evaluations and achievement summaries for annual performance reviews.
I’ve consulted on works of original authorship, including books.
I have provided counseling and drafted difficult communications between friends, spouses and business associates in personal and business conflict scenarios.
How can I help you?
I am personally invested in every client.
I take pride in my work, and I care about YOUR results. I view our partnership as a collaboration and am satisfied with nothing short of perfection. My goal is for your best writing to elevate you to your best life. I offer quick turn-arounds and follow up, tailoring services to my clients’ needs.
We can communicate over email, phone, skype or in person as best suits you. I guarantee that when we are done, you will be proud of your words.
