My Experience

I've got more than 25 years of experience helping businesses convey their message and writers improve their content.

What can I do for you?

 

About Me

From an early age, I knew I wanted to be a writer. My pile of dog-eared notebooks filled with scribbled phrases, ideas, and concepts could wallpaper a small hotel. Some of my earliest writing took place on an old Royal typewriter, where I'd happily clack away, dreaming up new worlds and characters. It's a habit I just can't break, and I'm pleased to say it brings me my livelihood.

I have a special interest in veteran issues, including PTSD, TBI, and burn pits, but I write about a wide variety of subjects. From homemaking to design to parenting to real estate to education, my work has appeared in numerous print publications and online.

I'm also a ghostwriter, with experience in YA fiction as well as nonfiction. I'm a copy editor and proofreader for fiction and nonfiction clients. I also create blog posts and newsletters.

I'm currently working on a nonfiction book, detailing a Navy veteran's experiences with lifelong PTSD, as well as a TBI.

Some of my best clients have come from a small job that turned into something much bigger. My best advice is to be curious; you never know where something might lead.

In my spare time, I love to design t-shirts and other items, which you can find in my Spring shop: www.designedwithlovebydl.com.
