Overview
Hi! I'm an editor and author with 13 years of publishing industry experience. I specialize in MG, YA, and picture books.
I love helping other authors bring out the best in their work. I have worked with Scholastic, Harlequin Teen, The Rights Factory Literary Agency, and many freelance clients.
I have a Professional Development Award in Children's Publishing. I have also taught dozens of panels and workshops over the years on writing, querying, and the publishing process. I love both the big-picture conversations about books and finding those last little typos that come between your reader and a flawless reading experience.
My own books have been published in over five languages and nine countries. My YA Fantasy books INK, RAIN, and HEIR TO THE SKY were nominated for Best YA Novel in the SF/F Aurora Awards, and my short fiction has been long-listed for the Sunburst Award and included in award-winning anthologies. I'm excited to bring out the potential in your manuscript!
There is nothing more exciting to me than working with authors to help polish their worlds and ideas and really make their manuscripts shine. Whether you're preparing to query agents or to self-publish, let my industry experience and excitement work for you. I can't wait to discuss your project!
