About Wendy
I live in Washington, DC, with my husband, Christopher, and our dog, Albert. I love baking (ask me for recipe recommendations!), reading, running (5 marathons previously, though never again), playing tennis, and spending time with family and friends. I'm usually obsessed with at least one television show, and I share way too many dog photos. A professor wrote on one of my papers, "You seem to have an affinity for the semicolon. (You do use it correctly.)" I appreciated the observation, particularly the parenthetical. I love editing, proofreading, writing, and helping people feel confident in the work they produce.
