Critically-acclaimed Simon & Schuster author, veteran magazine editor, ghostwriter, and book proposal expert.
Author of The Hot One: A Memoir of Friendship, Sex, and Murder, recommended by NPR, Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Entertainment Weekly, and named a best book of the year by Buzzfeed and The New York Post.
I've worked with veteran and debut authors alike helping them hone their story and connect with readers. I'm adept at ghostwriting and editing everything from personal essays and book proposals to full-length manuscripts, and my clients have been published by Big Five publishers including Riverhead, Simon & Schuster, and Penguin Random House. As a ghostwriter, I'll work with you to tell your story in a compelling, evocative, and powerful way that, most importantly, sounds like you. As a co-writer, editor, or book coach, I'll walk you through the steps to make your story shine and enhance your own writing in the process. I'm particularly passionate about memoir, family sagas, personal history, and stories from underrepresented voices.
Over more than a decade at New York magazine, I was an editor for both print and web specializing in culture, restaurants, travel, and events. I have edited, assigned, and written content for our award-winning verticals including Vulture, The Cut, Grub Street, and I've overseen numerous pop-up blogs on topics ranging from Paris to Sex and Relationships.
