I’ve done some academic paper proofing in the last year, as well as a few essays here and there for people seeking to gain acceptance to graduate programs.

What’s the best thing about owning Twin Miracles Editorial? Getting to spend a lot more time at home with my titular twin miracles than I would if I worked a 9-5 job every day. There are obviously pros and cons to being your own boss against working for a large corporation in a traditional office…

Our latest project is one of the best reads we’ve had in a while, a short book on leadership, education and overcoming ingrained beliefs about people of different races and income levels by Shera Carter Sackey. Shera came to us through a referral and we hit it off very well, with the added bonus…
