As a writing consultant, my guiding principle is non-normative subjectivity.

A work’s greatest strengths are often the parts that get cut by well-meaning peers and teachers. I will uplift the vision and idiosyncracy that sets your work apart from everyone else’s.

I consult simultaneously on the most macro and micro levels. Macro: I apply principles of plot, character, and worldbuilding to allow your reader to become more and more deeply engaged. Micro: I attend to elements like repetition, unusual rhythmic structures, and comma placements to help your audience unconsciously absorb the subtleties of an action or image.

No matter your genre, I’ll help you harness clarity and immersion to craft a page-turning book with the power to transform readers’ lives.

Contact me for a free 15-minute call to discuss your project and your goals!

Here are some of the clarity-and-immersion techniques that we’ll be discussing in your work:

• Priming your reader’s attention before key points

• Patterns and their transformations

• Identifying your reader with a character or narrator

• Contrast in syntax

• “Argument” and “rebuttal”

• Withheld catharsis

• Endings and invitations for continued engagement
