Syntax Sorceress LLC

Writer, editor, marketer, blogger, and social media maven.

ABOUT ME

I’ve spent more two decades working my wordsmithing magic as the owner of Syntax Sorceress LLC. I love the autonomy of editorial freelancing and the constant influx of ideas and people that it brings into my life. Every project is different than the last, and that’s wonderfully challenging. I like being challenged. Maybe that’s why game companies keep coming back to me for exceptional content… or why I self-published a book months after my second child was born … or why my first time playing D&D I was deemed “The Martha Stewart of DMs”…

Prior to freelancing, I was the lead copywriter at Cranium and a senior editor at Xbox.com. I earned my bachelor of arts degree at Northwestern University’s esteemed Medill School of Journalism and even worked a few years in broadcast journalism before hanging up my microphone to hone my skills in marketing, game writing, and brand strategy.

Professionally, I’m most well known for my editorial work on games, including Destiny 2, Magic: The Gathering, Indiana Jones Cryptic, Cranium 25th Anniversary Edition, Whoonu, Back to the Future: Back in Time, Kabookii, Big Brain, Hullabaloo, Hoopla, Sleepover Party, Cranium WOW, Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre Game, Smithsonian Mission Museum, The Aggretsuko Card Game,  Gudetama: The Lazy Card Game, MythBusters Hit the Target Trivia Game, Party Playoff, and more.

My work also spans beyond games. My list of satisfied clients includes Disney, Target, Sephora, the United Nation’s Block by Block initiative, Little Passports, and Pacific Science Center.

If you could use some editorial magic, please reach out. I’d love to hear more about you and your project.
