Creative Writing

While I was working on my undergraduate and graduate degrees in English/Creative Writing, I began workshopping my peers' stories and poems. Workshopping turned into developmental editing and copy editing, and Cranky Editor was born.

I'm loyal to my creative roots, though. I was the Literary Arts Editor at SF Station for two years, reporting on Bay Area literary happenings and working with local artists to revitalize the local book and poetry scene. I've published some stories and poetry, and I've written two published nonfiction books.

I love literature and poetry, and while I'm working on my own stories and poetry, I'd love to help you with yours. If you're interested, email me.
