I graduated from Portland State University with a BA in English and a creative writing minor in 2017. 

I was a senior prose editor for Typehouse Literary for five years, where I 

• wrote developmental feedback to hundreds of submitting prose writers on their memoirs and short stories 
• curated the magazine's blog by gathering pitches from Typehouse contributors, editing and publishing their essays on writing and creativity
• proofread each magazine issue from front to back before it hit the printers

I will provide line edits and developmental feedback on your personal essay and/or short story with the experience of a lit-mag editor and published writer. 

My evaluation of structure, tone, & character development will be summarized in a personalized, editorial letter.

With constructive, practical steps for revision, I will help you define your situation and story so that every sentence and paragraph speaks to what it is you have come to say.

My edits will include 

• line edits evaluating grammar and syntax
• in-line questions / comments / reactions to the piece
• 1.5 page editorial letter summarizing my comments, addressing structure, tone, and providing practical steps for revision
• tip jar: in exchange for a tip, I will list 3-5 literary magazines with accompanying deadlines where I think your work might be a good fit
