I’m a freelance writer and editor based in San Francisco, California.
As a writer I specialize in three areas: all-ages entertainment copywriting, English language localization writing, and SEO blogging for attorneys. While these specialties appear unrelated, all three involve creating and optimizing targeted content for general audiences. In other words, I am knowledgeable in a wide range of subject matter, well versed in marketing theory and search engine optimization, and can adjust my tone readily to suit the intended message and reader.
On the editing side I am experienced in production, developmental and copy editing. Nine years as an editor have given me a solid background in prepress production and project management, as well as the ability to collaborate successfully with designers, engineers, marketers, vendors and senior management. Meanwhile, two years as a trade journalist honed my research skills and business savvy, and six years as a graphic novel editor (plus a BFA in screenwriting from USC) made me fluent in a variety of visual media. Examples of my journalism and developmental editing are viewable in my portfolio.
Whether I’m writing or editing for a blog or magazine, adapting text for comics or games, or creating copy for web or print, my goal is the same: to deliver the highest quality work, on time and on budget.
