Overview
I'm a developmental editor, copyeditor, and proofreader with more than 12 years of experience at Big Five publishing houses editing children's and young adult books, both fiction and nonfiction. I can also offer support on adult fiction, especially romance.
My goal as an editor is to make sure your voice is heard. I'll help you hone your craft, from big-picture story development to detailed line edits. I'll draw on my decade plus of experience to help you navigate the publishing process. If you're planning to self-publish, we'll get your manuscript print-ready and create the right marketing copy to help your book stand out. If you're looking to work with a traditional publishing house, I'll help you polish your query letter and create the right pitch materials.
My editorial notes are detailed and sensitive, with a lot of clarifying questions and a strong focus on maintaining your unique voice. I can't wait to work with you!
