Overview
I've conceptualized, planned, and edited children's and YA nonfiction books in a wide variety of subject areas, including coding, biography, how-to, crafts, history, space, activism, politics and government, avoiding procrastination, and more. I'm also experienced with developmental editing of nonfiction, including how-to, business, and memoir.
I understand that every project is different and that there is no one right way to write or edit a book. I want your project to be the best version of what you want it to be, and I will help you get it there.
We'll talk about your goals and vision and I will ask lots of questions and suggest changes that you will, of course, make final decisions on. I've worked with both new and experienced writers, and I know how difficult it can be to edit and revise the writing you've worked so hard on. I will support you and your project to the best of my abilities.
