Hello, I’m Lindsay (she/her). Welcome to my little corner of the internet. If you have a story to tell, an idea burning a hole in your pocket, or a stream of words ready to light up the page, you are in the right place.

As an editor, I work with writers, indie presses, and writers’ collectives on select fiction and non-fiction manuscripts at different stages of development. Whether you need big-picture feedback about structure and story, sentence-level edits that focus on the details, or something in between, I’m here to help. 

You are also welcome to come here just to gaze meditatively at the floating cats.
