"I enjoy working with all kinds of writing but I'm most familiar with realistic literary fiction and nonfiction. I especially love discussing with the author how they see their work—I'm here to support and facilitate their vision, and like to focus on what is strongest in the writing. That said, I am very happy to give line-by-line edits when requested."
