What I'm looking for

I’m looking for freelance writing and editing projects where I can refine stories end-to-end—line editing, proofreading, and manuscript development—within clear timelines and professional publishing standards, with room for feedback that strengthens the final work.

I’m a freelance writer and editor specializing in creative content, manuscript development, line editing, and proofreading. I refine structure, tone, grammar, and style to meet professional publishing standards, with a storytelling-first mindset and meticulous attention to detail.

Currently, I write serialized fiction for digital publication with Radish Fiction, developing compelling storylines, character arcs, and dialogue while performing self-editing and revisions to maintain clarity and pacing. I also independently published my full-length novel, Love Unintentional, managing editing, proofreading, formatting, and marketing processes to ensure stylistic consistency and publishing-quality results.

Alongside my writing work, I bring an ESL/TESOL foundation that strengthens how I support grammar, syntax, and communication in edited materials. My creative work has also been recognized as a Semi-Finalist for the Big Apple Film Festival (2021, 2025), and I bring a professional, deadline-aware approach to every project.
