Hi, I’m Emlyn, your personal word nerd.

I love stories, and I’d be happy to help you tell yours. With an MFA and 3 years of professional writing experience under my belt, I’ve mastered a variety of tones and voices to match any project. I provide copyediting services to help your prose really sing, and proofreading services to make sure all your commas are in the right places.
