It is an honor to be entrusted with writers' drafts and to collaborate to sharpen their ideas, paragraphs, and sentences. My best work invisibilizes me, and I am good with that. I would never want to take credit for any of the stories below; they are what they are because of the writers, not me. At the same time I take pride the beautiful magazine articles we make together. Here are some standouts.
