Whether you’re working on a book, a website, a brand, or trying to figure out how to market a product, a service, or yourself—I’ll help you think it through.
Twenty years editing other people’s work and building my own gives me a working sense of what’s missing, what’s strong, and what the next move is. Office Hours is part brainstorm, part clarity audit, part navigation—with some intuition mixed in.
Bring the thing you’re stuck on—a draft, a half-built idea, a plan with a hole in it. We work on what’s in front of us, and you leave with a clear next step.
This works for almost anything creative or entrepreneurial: a pitch to a magazine, a book proposal, a website that isn’t saying what you mean, a brand that needs a clearer identity, a marketing plan for a product or service, a video or social strategy that isn’t landing yet. If you’ve made the thing and aren’t sure what to do with it, that’s exactly what this is for.
30 minute and 1-hour sessions available.
Phone or video call (your preference).
A link to schedule your time will be sent upon purchase.

ABOUT ME:
I’ve spent two decades as an arts and culture writer and editor, working as an editor at Baltimore magazine, an arts writer at Pasatiempo, and the feature editor at The Frederick News-Post. At The News-Post, I built and branded the weekly arts and culture guide 72 Hours, which has consistently grown.
I have also edited two best-selling full-length nonfiction books, both collections of essays. My own writing has won regional (MDDC) and national (CRMA) awards, and an arts newsletter featuring my work won best newsletter in the country (CRMA).
Nearly all of the 20-plus freelancers I work with each week have no journalism background or formal writing training. I take what I’m handed—sometimes barely a draft, sometimes a mess—and shape it into writing that lands.
That is what I offer here: seeing what a thing could be and getting it there.
I’ve also built and sold my own things—zines, books, custom perfumes, desert artwork, workshops—so I know both sides: making the thing and selling it.
While living in Santa Fe, I ran a successful online apothecary with inventory sold at shops across the country and commissioned for boutique hotels and luxury resorts, including Bishop’s Lodge in Santa Fe.
