Real, human communication is crucial to community.

Building strong communities is essential work. It always has been, though it’s easy to forget about when things are going well. It’s the work we all must do, all the time, so that when times are tough, we all have a soft place to land.

And I want to help you build your community.

I’ve been working as a writer and editor since 2006, and freelancing since 2012.

The bulk of my work has been copywriting and copy editing for a range of clients and topics, including travel, real estate, news publishing, wellness, and even knitting.

I excel at producing how-to guides and “service pieces” that are both easy to understand and full of warmth and personality.

I’m a teacher at heart, and I’m the reader’s biggest cheerleader when they’re learning something new.

I’m experienced at adopting a client’s voice, and I can help you deliver to your community the kind of copy that builds loyalty.

I’m fond of saying that the greatest lesson travel has taught me is that there’s no such thing as lost. You can always get where you want to go from where you are—it just might take a little longer than you’d originally planned. This has very practical implications when, say, I’m unsure of my precise location in the historic center of Naples. And it also translates into less literal uses. For instance? I don’t know all the answers. But I know how to find them.
