I'm a writer and editor with in-depth knowledge of contemporary visual art and publishing. I also have significant experience with WordPress, social media, newsletters, and web analytics. My writing includes criticism, journalism, essays, and grant writing. I enjoy editing things short and sweet as well as long and laborious. I excel at distilling text to fit a word count, enlivening ponderous copy, and finding Zen in proofreading.
