Let’s Work Together

Editorial Services

Need someone with an eye to detail to edit your beloved words? Get the careful work of an experienced writer in the Christian world.

Are you a storyteller too—

but feeling lost in the creative world?

I started writing publicly about seven years ago, and when I did, I had no connections and no one to help me see where my words needed improvement. I created some pretty terrible articles. A few years later, I grew in friendships with other writers and editors, and I credit them with the growth in my skill as a writer as they ruthlessly edited every piece of writing I crafted. Now I want to offer the same to you.

“I’ve learned far more from Lara than she’ll ever know, and I largely credit her with where I am today as a writer.”
