I am a writer and editor living in the Midwest, with degrees in English and Philosophy from the University of Iowa. I write speculative poetry and fiction. For ten years, I copyedited a political science journal, often reworking the prose of authors for whom English was a second (third, fourth) language. In addition, I've edited nonfiction books and novels. For Wikipedia, I focus on trimming plot summaries of horror films (especially foreign horror films) and horror novels. I also copyedit horror-related entries that have been flagged as needing revision.
