“Like the best editors, James understands that the editorial process is a conversation between the writer and editor to make the work the best it can be. You can’t ask for more than that.”
– Charles Barnitz (The Deepest Sea)

I specialize in...
I've helped all types of writers complete their projects and improve their writing along the way, but I specialize in genre fiction.
Working with authors who write horror, fantasy, and crime stories is a passion of mine. Those genres just happen to be the types of stories I read for fun, too.
And because of my experience in the comic industry, I also have a soft spot for helping comic creators write the script they've been hoping for.
Regardless of whether you're writing novels, novellas, shorts, or comics, if you're working in one of these genres, I'd be more than happy to help.
