“Summer wears many hats with her authors. For me she’s been teacher, shoulder to cry on, grammar task master and kind reassuring voice on the other end of the phone. She’s particularly skilled at pinpointing plot missteps or defining missed opportunities to strengthen my manuscript. She’s professional, helpful and easy to work with!”

For as long as I can remember, words have been my constant companion, shaping my career and passion. I’ve had the incredible fortune to spend my entire professional life working with language—whether through teaching, editing, or creating stories.
A Lifetime of Writing and Editing
I’ve guided others in their writing journeys from the classroom to the boardroom. I’ve taught writing at the college level, helping students find their voice and refine their craft. As managing editor of multiple magazines, I honed my editorial skills, shaping content that connected with readers on a deep level.
Working with global organizations and corporations, I crafted compelling communications that bridged the gap between complex ideas and everyday language. I’ve also written for theatre and print publications, delving into the art of storytelling from various creative perspectives.
I am a writer, editor, coach, and strategist with over twenty published books. My clients include Fortune 500 CEOs, debut authors, organizations, and municipalities.
I transform individuals' and teams' subject matter expertise into books, methodologies, speeches, courses, and other products. The International Coaching Federation has certified my courses.
I direct strategy, innovation, product, marketing, and communications for organizations and municipalities.
My specialties include:
Writing and Editing
Strategy and Innovation
Communication and Marketing
Education and Coaching
Public Relations and Outreach
