Whether it’s a book, dissertation, a business plan or other writing project, your work deserves a professional editor.  I have 30 years of experience that includes more than 100 books, academic works and articles.

As an author of five books and hundreds of articles and content, I will use my experience to create eye-catching and effective copy whether it is for a website, personal use or a book.

About me

Writing is my passion, and I love sharing my knowledge and expertise.  After receiving a BA in English from Wilmington College of Ohio, I worked for several non-profits where I wrote press releases, organizational histories and grant proposals.  Next, I went to Wright State University for a Master’s degree in writing and literature.  For the next 20 years, I worked in marketing writing press releases, articles, internal corporate communications and on-air and print advertisement.  I also followed my passion as an adjunct professor of writing and literature. 

In 2008, I moved to a remote mountain town in North Carolina with my husband and two dogs.  It was there that I created Word Branch Media (formerly CRT Writing) and began my journey as a freelance writer and editor.  In addition to working for a major publishing company, I also started my own press: Word Branch Publishing. 

It is this experience that I offer to you to aid in your own writing projects.  I understand the needs of both businesses and the creative industries, and I will work with you to create a polished and professional piece.
