Overview
Hi Reedsy Writers!
I have a decade of publishing experience working with the "Big Five" as well as indie publishers. I co-founded the digital literary journal Pigeon Pages and was the managing editor there. I'm also a foreign rights manager attending international book fairs and assisting in bringing books into translation overseas. Which might be summarized as I eat, sleep, and breathe books!
My goal when approaching client work is to make a project the best version of itself. I tend to ask a lot of questions to help an author have a deeper understanding of their own work and a better goal for what they hope a reader will come away with after reading. I specialize in adult fiction and nonfiction as well as contemporary YA.
If you wish to query me as an agent, please don't hire me here. It creates ethical complications I'd love for us to both avoid.
Happy Writing!
