Here to encourage and empower … not eviscerate!

I write creative nonfiction myself, so I know both sides of the red pen. Through my role as the facilitator of a local writer’s workshop in Grenoble and as a participant in many a writing class, I have honed the art of the sensitive yet effective creative writing query. I appreciate your trust and the risk you take in sharing your literary baby with an editor!
