Overview
I’m a literary agent and freelance editor with 15 years experience in NY publishing. In my work as an agent, I’ve placed books across all genres including but not limited to: mystery, thriller, women’s fiction, young adult, middle grade, business non-fiction, and history. I've worked in the domestic and international markets, and with television and film rights, giving me an interesting perspective on publishing trends.As a freelance editor, it’s my pleasure to bring my publishing experience to the table and dive deeply into a manuscript to make it shine. I have a keen editorial eye and a sincere love of all the nuances of storytelling.
