Whether I’m helping someone achieve their educational, professional, or personal goals, I’m deeply committed to making the writing and editing process a rewarding experience. 

My clients benefit from:

• A knowledgeable and accessible advisor, trained in both editing and counseling

• The comfort and ease of working with a consultant who’s genuinely invested in their success

• A collaborative and customized approach

• A finished product that is both error-free and effective

• More time and less stress in their busy lives

According to ChatGPT, “AI is a powerful tool, but it can’t replace the deeper understanding and expertise of a human editor, especially when it comes to complex writing tasks.”

Some of the advantages of working with me — a human writer, editor, and former counselor — include:

• Writing skills that produce creative and credible content — instead of generic language

• Emotional intelligence and authentic connection with clients

• Ethical judgment, cultural awareness, and sensitivity to inappropriate or problematic content

• Dedication to safeguarding the confidentiality and security of clients’ work product

• Ability to anticipate issues, recall past events, and make informed recommendations

• Intuitive understanding of how readers will interpret and respond to content

• Interactive conversations that facilitate brainstorming, reflection, and collaboration

• A sharp eye for spotting inconsistencies, nuances, omissions, oversights, and confusing or awkward language

• An inquisitive mind asking targeted, clarifying questions

• Commitment to preserving clients’ unique voice, style, and personality

• Proactive communication to help the client complete their writing tasks and meet deadlines

• Reliable research and fact-checking skills *** There’s a reason ChatGPT has this disclaimer on its user screen: “ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info.”

While I rely almost exclusively on my experience, expertise, and research skills, I do occasionally utilize AI programs to double-check a grammar or syntax rule, generate ideas for a title or heading, ask for a different way to phrase something to avoid repetition, or to read a summary of a particular topic.

While AI can certainly be a helpful resource, it requires professional judgment to use its results responsibly and strategically.

Yes, free consultations (over the phone or Zoom) are highly recommended.

This preliminary process usually includes a “quick look” of the document, a discussion of the client’s needs, and recommendations for how I can customize my services to help them achieve their goals within budget and on schedule.
