Overview
I am a literary consultant and fiction editor with a strong interest in speculative and weird fiction. I have worked as a freelancer since 2016, and my active clients include several large publishing houses. I grew up in the USA but have lived in the UK for over 20 years, so I can also provide localisation editing for UK-to-US English (and vice versa).
I was the Prize Manager for the 2019 First Novel Prize, which is run by Daniel Goldsmith Associates, and I host a podcast about George R. R. Martin’s Wild Cards series.
