As both a book editor and magazine writer, I specialize in book edit projects and journalism projects on a daily basis. Some of my favorite assignments cover everyday heroes who are the heart of my favorite interviews. People who go out of their way to improve their lives, their families, and the community are featured in the articles below.
One article was particularly touching and involved Leilani Hurles’ journey through ovarian cancer. As a survivor, she wrote the book Ride, Baby, Ride!: Your Courage to Overcome Ovarian Cancer and Life Adversities.
