Lost Art Editing developed out of my love for storytelling and its power to move us, change us. I taught English as a Second Language courses for many years which only enhanced my love for people's individual stories.

My specialties include memoir, personal profiles, personal and academic essays, blogs, travel writing, true crime, fictionalized memoir, WWII historical fiction, literary fiction, mystery, adventure, crime.

I love working with writers who dare themselves and readers to be adventurers, to take chances, to better themselves through language and stories. I am a big fan of all forms of creative storytelling—fiction and nonfiction. Digging into sentence structure, character development, pacing, world-building, dialogue, plot, point of view, and a writer’s unique voice is exciting to me. I also love helping writers use grammar and mechanics in ways that serve their stories.

I’m based in Northern New Mexico and love traveling any chance I get. I have lived in several states, as well as in Norway, Italy, and Hungary. I am also a photographer, in love with the natural world and all the stories it holds.

I’m happy you found me and I look forward to talking with you about your current or next writing project!
