Bio

Whatever you need to write, I want to help you. I have a degree in English literature but I taught myself creative writing. Now I’m a professional novelist, short story, essay writer, and book reviewer. I’ve helped people write successful college essays. I've tutored high school and college students who needed a second set of eyes on their ideas and essays for English, history, science classes, job and fellowship applications, and everything in between. I’ve even coached dozens of people...

Whatever you need to write, I want to help you. I have a degree in English literature but I taught myself creative writing. Now I’m a professional novelist, short story, essay writer, and book reviewer. I’ve helped people write successful college essays. I've tutored high school and college students who needed a second set of eyes on their ideas and essays for English, history, science classes, job and fellowship applications, and everything in between. I’ve even coached dozens of people through drafting books and book proposals so they could go on to be professional authors.

I can help you put your research into your own words, analyze novels and stories, or express yourself with creative writing. I won't just read your writing, I'll ask thoughtful questions to get you to think outside of the box. I want to understand you, your goals, and the challenges that are standing in your way. I read 100 books every year, watch tons of movies, listen to a lot of podcasts, and scroll Reddit a little too much. I never stop thinking about how humans use narratives to connect with each other. My down to earth, nonjudgmental approach helps people become more confident communicators and storytellers. If you think you can’t read or write as well as you want to, let me prove you wrong.
