About Us

The Company

After consulting privately with authors and teaching English and Creative Writing in university classrooms, I created Finesse Writing and Editing LLC as a means to provide quality writing assistance on a personal and professional level. As years of workshopping and teaching have shown me, quality communication is key to success whether you’re a budding author, a student looking to improve an essay, an individual striving for the highest level of professional recognition, or a business hoping to generate more attention. Whatever your goal, quality writing makes all the difference, and I am committed to providing writing services at affordable rates.

My Philosophy

Among all the ways which I understand myself, I feel most defined as a writer. I think my practice as a teaching poet, and the techniques inherent in those capacities, serve as a partial frame for my pedagogical and private philosophies. As a writer, I’ve learned that the inspiration to write is quite possibly the easiest part of the craft. The strenuous temperament of idea development has provided me with an understanding of myself as engaged in a powerful discourse capable of demonstrating control and authenticity. Until I recognized myself in these terms, moments seemed irrelevant.
