Story-driven developmental editor with a love for strong characters and juicy plots. I specialize in indie publishing and literary fiction.
I managed Gglassworks, the new play development program. In the role, I assisted playwrights both editorially and administratively to help their manuscripts come to fruition.
I served for an independent press and assisted with manuscript proofreading and editing, book mailings, press releases, and the grand opening of an independent bookstore.
Rose Metal Press specializes in hybrid-genre work. As an intern, I assisted with marketing and outreach, manuscript and eGalley proofreading, and sales at book fairs and other events.
