Hello Friends ~

I'm putting this statement on the website because I've received quite a few inquiries, and it's easier than responding to individual emails, especially since I don't log in regularly. I may also discontinue my business email account at some point, though I do plan to keep the website up as is.

As many of you know, I closed down on December 31. At that time, I remained open to small writing projects from long-time clients. But after attempting a few consultation sessions  and a small writing project, I've decided not to take on any further work. This includes copyediting, though it's worth noting that I haven't performed copyediting since 2022, as built-in editing features in Word and free generative AI tools have made copyediting widely available to everyone. (And I have never been a developmental editor, so that has never been on the table anyway. 😊)

I want you to know that stepping away has nothing to do with any of my beloved clients — you've all been wonderful. Building worlds for you has been an absolute joy, and we've had a great time together.  Although I'm a very private person, I will say that I'm stepping back to tend to a chronic pain condition that has worsened over the years. 

On a bright note:  I signed a contract with a major publishing company for a story completed in 2024, and I have several finished, unpublished manuscripts written over many years that I look forward to slowly releasing into the world.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for trusting me with your stories. It has been a true honor.
