I write because the pen moves. -- Lora Clarke

Have you written a piece of literature and need a second set of eyes to examine it for misspellings and typos? I am a published author and have been editing for a number of years. During this time I have worked with fellow published authors, new writers, newspaper columnists and college students from all over the world, helping them sharpen their work and strengthen their interests. I have copy edited and story edited full length books, articles, business letters, poetry, movie scripts, plays, essays, songs and short stories. Whatever you have written, or whatever you want to write, let me help you make it better. Email me to discuss the specifics of your project.
