Anne provided me with a manuscript assessment which was exactly what I needed as I’m not ready for a full edit yet. Her advice was concise and she provided both positive points as well as points of improvement for my manuscript. I’ll definitely have her do the full edit when ready.

I like the way she was able to work with me, and she was very understanding, and she was very polite and very through of what she was going to do. She did it step by step. telling me every move, and when she had a problem she let me know in advance. I'm very lucky that I found her, and hoping to use her in future projects.

I love working with Anne. She make sure i understand how the process works and explain to me what was needed and what’s was happening. She made it easy for me to put my trust on her work.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I studied at the University of Southern California, and hold an MFA in Screenwriting from the American Film Institute. I am a creative writer, but I grew up around academics so I've been immersed in that world since childhood! I also have been teaching group and private lessons to students 8-18 in both creative writing and essay writing for the past several years.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have worked with tenured academics on their books, PhD students on their dissertations, creative writers of all kinds, and fellow screenwriters!

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    I recently created the index for a brilliant film studies text on Indian cinema for Duke University Press. I also had the opportunity to copyedit a collection of lyrical personal essays about the nightlife scene in lower Manhattan in the 80's.
