About Blair
Hey there! I’m a professionally trained editor specializing in literary fiction and memoir. I love encountering authors with unique voices who invite me into their vivid worlds.
My goal as an editor is to sharpen your manuscript’s essence. I pinpoint the areas of your writing that truly sound like you, and then offer ways you can make that voice even stronger.
I completed the editing program at the University of Washington and attended Knox College for my bachelor’s degree in creative writing. I know all too well how vulnerable it can be to share your writing with someone new. I’m here as your gentle adviser. No bullying, I promise!
Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, I now live in Seattle with my husband and our two cats.
