About

I have spent fifteen years shaping other people's ideas into sentences that hold up. Most of my work is quiet: editing manuscripts, ghostwriting essays, and helping people say the thing they actually meant.

I read more than is strictly reasonable, keep too many notebooks, and believe a good paragraph is worth an afternoon. Drop a line if you have something worth getting right.
