Remote Writing, Editing
& Proofreading Services

I’m more than an editor – I’m also a writer, journalist, and storyteller with a deep love of complex stories, rich characters, and winding plots. I specialize in helping authors elevate their work without losing what makes it uniquely theirs. I ask questions, dig deeper, and nudge when appropriate. Whether that’s refining structure, clarifying ideas, or polishing language, I can guide you through each stage of your story’s development.

My editorial approach isn’t just about putting red marks on a page. I strive to understand the intention behind your words so I can help you communicate more naturally, confidently, and effectively.

Spencer & Pen is also a place for fellow book nerds and writers where we can discuss the craft, publishing, and much more as we grow – and where I can share my discoveries,  misadventures, and epiphanies with you.
