EDITOR, PUBLISHER, WRITER, CURATOR...AND YOUR MOST POWERFUL SUCCESS MAGNET
I've been advocating for artist's voices for over 20 years. In 2014, after a decade of working casually with friends on their writing, I established The Necessarian, LLC as a business through which I formally offer essential editing, publishing, and advisory services to the creative sector.
Today I'm on a mission to make the writing, editing, and publishing processes as transparent and accessible as possible for artists and arts organizations, so that they can express themselves fully and clearly, and feel confident about how their work is showing up in the world.
