I’ve worked on both sides of publishing for more than a decade, writing (and ghostwriting) books and magazine articles and editing hundreds of stories about fashion, arts & entertainment, travel, architecture & interiors, and people profiles. I’ve included a few samples of my writing here. Do you have a book or story that needs editing or writing? I can help.
