Senior editor specializing in non-fiction books focusing on Food and Drink, Personal Development, Popular Culture and Health and Wellness.

Overview

Enthusiastic, creative and detail-oriented senior editor. I've commissioned and acquired a wide range of non-fiction and illustrated books, with a focus on the areas of Food and Drink, Personal Development, Mind/Body/Spirit, Popular Culture and Female Empowerment. I love working with inspirational authors and helping them to craft their stories into visually stunning books.
