Introduction: I am an old-school editorial professional with 25 years of experience. Words and deadlines don't scare me. I make that last stand for perfection so your audience has an effortless reading experience. There has never been a time in history when the written word has mattered more. I have been an editor since high school, so it's more than a passion—it's my life. I feel that a writer does not produce content in a vacuum and that appealing to the reader is a huge part of the writing process. I try to position myself as an advocate for the reader while maintaining a trusted partnership with the writer. That balance is they key to sucess.

Sharon and I worked side-by-side at the Los Angeles Daily News for 10 years. At the time, we edited reports and stories from business and finance, crime and courts, Hollywood award shows and fashion. She excelled at fact-checking and researching any topic. She created accurate and interesting copy. No one is more diligent at editing copy than Sharon.

Sharon met our deadline, and more importantly, understood our goals. We'll look forward to working with her again on another project.

I needed a press release to be edited. I was in a bit of a rush. To her credit, she not only made a quick turnaround of the edit, it was extremely thorough and spot on.
