Bio

I’ve been saving writers from typo embarrassment for nearly 30 years. Example: Sending out copy with pubic, orgasm, or manger in it when you meant public, organism, or manager. Yes, it happens, but there are ways to avoid that type of error, one that very few folks know.

I work on corporate blogs, annual reports, nonfiction/business books, podcast transcriptions, and web content as a collaborator, not a tyrant. I make suggestions (OK, sometimes I make strong suggestions), but I always know whose work it is. I admit to pushing hard for the Oxford comma, and I have some reasons for using it all the time.

My goal is to ensure that my clients look and sound as smart as they are!
