About Me
.
I used to be a journalist in Southeast Asia and founding editor of a women's magazine in Myanmar.
Before that, I lived in the SF Bay Area and worked as an editor for corporations.
Today I'm a writing coach and founding editor of Bitchy, a Medium publication. We publish essays about feminism, gender, equality, and identity.
I'm also one of the Medium nominators who can recommend your article for a boost. My personal articles have up to 95% boosting rate on Medium. I want the same for you.
I'll help you hone your essays so the algorithm shows them to more readers, helping you monetize.
As your writing skills improve, you'll no longer need me to hold your hand. My aim is so you can grow your own writing muscles.
Balance Magazine's launch part. I'm on the far right holding a mike.
Testimonials
~ Ali Hall
June has advised me on the content and structure of a number of high performing articles published on Medium. Her knowledge of persuasive writing and reader interest is second to none.
She has a compassionate approach and adopts a gentle yet clear communication style.
June directs me through her edits with positivity and kindness. If you are ready to take the next step with your writing and want to pack a punch with a point you wish to make, I highly recommend June.

I have truly enjoyed working with June as an editor. She has given me thoughtful feedback on how to strengthen my articles, which has helped drive increased engagement with readers.
Having access to the Bitchy writing community has also allowed me to connect with like-minded authors and learn from top talent. June's guidance has helped me take my writing to the next level, and I am incredibly grateful for her support.
I would enthusiastically recommend her coaching service to any writer looking to refine their craft and reach new audiences. She has been invaluable in helping me improve as a writer. I cannot thank her enough for sharing her expertise and empowering me to reach more audiences with my message.
~ Karen Marie Shelton
June helped me improve and transform my writing. Before I hired her to be my writing coach, I'd only experienced limited success with my essays, especially the persuasive types.
My writing has improved noticeably in the time I've worked with June. Most importantly, she has taught me specific writing exercises, tools, and techniques I can use independently.
June inspires me. The longer I keep working with June as a coach and editor, the better my writing will become. I have no doubt.
~ Kim Downey
June is a wonderfully skilled editor with a deep understanding of how to structure a persuasive essay.
