Freelance Editing Coach
Once a red-pen-wielding grammar snob who loved finding errors in everything, I’m now a community facilitator and freelance business coach for modern editors who want to move past perfection and get to the heart of the matter: helping elevate writers’ and authors’ voices.
In my ten-plus years of working as a freelance editor, I’ve found that in the industry, things are a little backward—excluding marginalized groups, focusing on perfection vs. building author voice authenticity, and holding little support for other editors. That’s why I make it my mission to help foster a powerful, supportive, and badass community where editors encourage each other and lovingly push each other to create businesses doing what they love.
Although my brain is very analytical and I have a knack for finding mistakes in anything, I’ve found that my real gifts are helping people thrive and creating a community to help one another grow—it’s what it’s all about. I’m even more thrilled to help represent more people in more communities, and that we are all here to share resources and cheer each other on—not compete with each other.
Although freelancing can feel scary and isolating, it doesn’t have to be. As a community, we got this.
You don’t have to do it alone. Let’s change the narrative and create a collaborative and supportive freelance business for years to come.
Get personalized guidance in your editing business with one-on-one coaching. We’ll work together to help you manage imposter syndrome, shift your mindset, enforce boundaries, and tackle anything else you need to help you achieve your goals.
Join a supportive group of like-minded editors and get access to trainings, guest speakers, coworking sessions, a private community, and much more. Editors at all stages in business are welcome!
Join the conversation as I talk about all things editing and what it's like to run an editing business in today's world.

Now is the best time to get the skills and confidence you need to launch your freelance editing business.
Feeling stuck? Not sure how to move forward in your business? One-on-one coaching could be the way to get you back on track.
In this episode, I’m going to share how you can figure out how many hours a day you can edit. (Spoiler alert: I bet it’s fewer than you think!)
*Disclaimer: The math I attempted in this episode makes zero sense. I’m an editor, not a mathematician 🤣
In this short-and-sweet episode, we’re going to talk about what “booked out” means to you and if it’s something you even want to work toward (it might not be!).
I’m back! After an unintentional four-month hiatus, I’ll be sharing my experience with burnout and tips for how to avoid and/or recover from it. If you’re a freelancer, small business owner, or solopreneur who wears all the hats, this episode is for you.
![Do you know how many hours a day *you* can edit?
In this episode of #TheModernEditorPodcast, I go over how you can figure this out for yourself. Because guess what? It's different for everyone 😉 (But a hint: I bet it’s fewer hours than you think!)

![RAISE YOUR RATES 👀
One of our newest #FreelanceEditorsClub members had some great questions about rates at our last Q&A call.
Our group chatted for about 45 minutes, sharing all sorts of nuggets about rates and giving suggestions based on their experiences.
The member ultimately decided to raise their rates, and within TWO days they had a client accept the new rate!
Next month I’m hosting a specific training about rates inside the club. I can only hope more members see amazing results like this afterward 😍
[ID: Screenshot from an Instagram DM. First message says, “Thanks again for the Q&A on raising rates. I raised mine (as you saw), and I actually just booked a client at the new rate! She is a recurring client and was actually excited I’d raised my rates and that my business was growing! <heart emoji> Second message says, “YAAAS!!! That’s incredible! I knew you could do it <two heart-eye emojis>]
