Overview
As the author of 15 books and countless articles, I know how much I have benefited from the many editors I have worked with; and I hope my clients learn to be better writers by working with me. I particularly love editing mysteries and thrillers, historical novels, children's/YA projects, and literary fiction; and nonfiction that teaches me something. But I work with manuscripts of all types. For me, every new project opens up a new world—one I always feel excited and honored to visit.
