I'm the owner and chief editor at Inventing Reality Editing Service, which meets the editing and proofreading needs of writers both new and published. For more than two decades, I worked as an award-winning journalist, with half of those years spent as an editor. Several of my short stories in the literary and science fiction genres have been published, and I am the author of the nonfiction “Hikes with Tykes: A Practical Guide to Day Hiking with Kids.” For seven years I worked as an English teacher or a community college journalism instructor. I hold a Masters degree in English and a bachelors in journalism and English.
