I’ve been devoted to the pursuit of clean, clear writing for more than 20 years. My editing career began in magazine editorial (McCall’s and Woman’s Day) and I spent many years in the fast-paced, deadline-driven world of corporate communications. Current and recent clients include the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Walker Art Center, University of Minnesota Foundation, Kirkus Media, BoxOffice Media, and the American Craft Council. I'm well-versed in the Chicago Manual of Style and the Associated Press Stylebook, or I can work with your own in-house style guide. I provide exacting attention to detail and on-time turnaround, while preserving your unique voice. Clips and references available on request. BA in English, Oberlin College.
