“What is the essence of the art of writing?  Part One: Have something to say.  Part Two: Say it well.”  
— Edward Abbey
 

Oh, if only it were that simple!  After all, if writing were easy, we'd all be experts, wouldn't we?  Unfortunately, as Nathaniel Hawthorne put it, “[e]asy reading is damn hard writing.”  But that's also the good news.  With the right tools and a willingness to learn, everyone can improve their writing. 

 

And that's where I come in.  

On this site, I provide tips and tricks to help you improve your writing.  In addition, I offer writing, editing, and tutoring services, as well as blog about how writing connects to "real life" (including travel).  My hope is to demystify the writing process and help you achieve your goals, whether at school, home, or in your career.  So, welcome!

My writing and editing skills can help you achieve your goals.

"Jessica did a first-class job making my hodge-podge manuscript coherent. She cut at least 50 percent of the first draft. If you need an editor, she’s your girl."
"The work is always accomplished one word at a time."
