About Me

I'm a nimble wordsmith and dogged, deadline-driven editor. I make bad copy great and good copy award-winning. I enjoy tackling difficult topics and raising questions no one else thought to ask. I've practiced my craft for more than 25 years as a professional copy editor, writer and managing editor for several metropolitan daily newspapers, trade publications and a higher education foundation.
I enjoy digging into complicated topics and finding ways to make them accessible to broader audiences. Research, interviewing and writing with clarity are my highest priorities; writer's block typically stems from not knowing enough about the subject or story at hand. So keep going!

“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. 'Tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”
