I had a wonderful time being interviewed by Kc Rossi, for her Women Developing Brilliance podcast!
You can take a listen as we talk about:
I get a lot of compliments on my tagline – No app can replace me! – so I thought I’d take a moment to mention how it came to be.
Basically, I got tired of seeing creative writers and business folks talking about how they don’t need a copy editor, because they just run their texts through a grammar-check app and that’s good enough.
But the job of a copy editor is really so much more than checking spelling and punctuation. Continue reading

Your business plan is your roadmap to success, and if you have built your own business – and particularly if you have had to seek bank or investor financing – you have probably had to write one.
But once written, how many of you have actually gone back at a later date to update your business plan?

This won’t be the typical end-of-year roundup blog post. I’m not going to talk about all the things I accomplished or all the things I wanted to accomplish but didn’t. Instead, I’m going to focus on the things I did in 2019 that – when the year started – I had no idea I would be doing.
First – the things I did professionally…
