Hi. I’m Adrienne and I have been editing since 2007. I’m based in Northern New Mexico and I love developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, proofreading, and coaching for fiction and nonfiction writers equally. I taught English as a Second Language courses for many years and always enjoy working with writers for whom English is not a first language.

My editing career developed quickly out of teaching and I’m now lucky to work with independent writers and authors, small publishers/packagers, and students.

Writers are mavericks who dare themselves and readers to be adventurers, to take chances, to better themselves through language and stories.
All writers need supporters and I am here to champion your work, cheer you on, guide you through your developmental and sentence structure challenges, and help you find the perfect spots for those pesky punctuation marks.

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 grew up in New Mexico and have lived in several states, as well as in Norway, Italy, and Hungary. 

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