STRUCTURAL EDITING, LINE EDITING & PROOFREADING SERVICES

The best ideas come to us as inspiration from 'Out of the Blue,' often after years of study and practice. Expressing these epiphanies with crystal clarity -- while still maintaining the full force and power of that original 'Aha! Moment'--  requires a rapport with the English Language that borders on the extraordinary.

I came into this world with an unusual gift for words, which I have cultivated throughout my life. As a writer, editor, ghostwriter and communications consultant, I can put wings on your words so that they fly directly into the hearts and minds of your readers or listeners, informing and enlightening them, even as they entertain.
​
I can help you if you are seeking:

• Editorial consulting and assistance for your fiction or nonfiction manuscript
• Support in telling the story of your life or a briefer memoir from your journeys
• Transformation of your audio or print blog into a compelling book
• Speech writing based on your material—to move your audience to tears or action
• Biographical statements that convey the uniqueness you offer the world
• Original verse to celebrate important people and events in your life
• PLUS: Coaching you into your Creative Flow so that you can speak and write authentically—with confidence, authority, power and Heart!

If you care both about what you say and how you say it—to maximize the impact of your ideas on the minds of your readers—I can help you on both scores. Our creative synergy will make your copy scintillate ​and work its magic on the world!

Kotodama (Word+Spirit) - My Editorial Edge

Words are living energies. And because I have a strong sense of their rhythm, music, mystery, weight and power—as well as their multi-faceted depths of meaning—I do more than write and edit documents: I tune them up to a higher frequency that resonates with the reader’s deeper knowing.

I had no idea that anyone else had such a sense about words and how we are to compose with them—until I discovered this incredible statement from a conversation Bill Moyers had with writer Barry Lopez, who quoted a Japanese novelist by the name of Kazumasa Hirai:  

"Your work is to take care of the spiritual interior of the language." And he said in Japanese this word we use, kotodama, means that each word has within it a spiritual interior. The word is like a vessel that carries something ineffable. And you must be the caretaker for that. You must be careful when you use language to look at every part of the word and make sure that you're showing respect for it in the place that you've given it to live in the sentence.”  

This is what I have intuitively known since I first began to play with words in early childhood. Given the nature of my highly cultivated gift, I feel responsible to work only on projects that are designed to make a positive contribution to the consciousness of the culture. 

“The idea is to write it so that people hear it
and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.”
​Maya Angelou
