Happy birthday to us! With thanks to you.

When your business gets a new name and a new look, it feels like a brave new world.


Last October, I left my corporate publishing job to return to the freelancing trenches full-time. It was equal parts terrifying and liberating, and I have no regrets.

Dots & Dashes’ first year has been the best kind of joyride, with exciting challenges and unexpected successes at every turn. I couldn’t be prouder to report these milestones from the past 12 months:

  • Worked with 17 new clients, from individuals to Fortune 500 companies
  • Signed ongoing contracts with publishing, technology, and startup firms
  • Edited novels, short stories, nonfiction, marketing materials, annual reports, websites, and journalism from around the world
  • Contributed writing and photography on ballet, fatherhood, and goats—among other topics
  • Helped private clients shape their labors of love into polished manuscripts
  • Advised aspiring writers about next steps to take with works in progress
  • Enabled job seekers to put their best faces forward with clean, clear, engaging CVs
  • Managed editorial strategy for two departments of a monthly magazine
  • Completed projects for nonprofits at reduced rates to support their essential services
  • Talked to The Write Life Magazine about what it means to be a freelance editor

And it’s all because of you: clients, referrers, advisers, colleagues, and friends.


My heartfelt thanks for a tremendous first year. Looking forward to many more!
