As a writer myself, I do understand the need for honest, unbiased critique, that a fresh set of eyes can often see what the author may not. It is crucial to make final edits on our work before submitting for publication. The less work a publisher has to do, the more chance our words have of getting published. I offer a wide range of editing services from copy/ content to suggestions of databases,
online resources, journals, publishers to submit your work to. My rates are very reasonable. I also offer student discounts on school-related work and papers. Another feature I'm delighted to offer is cover art for your book or CD, drawn from a constantly expanding portfolio of my original photography. My subject matter ranges from abstract and surreal to rust and crust, automotive, urban decay, rural imagery, architecture, nature and animals. Bio
