Overview

I am a freelance editor, writer, and publishing consultant with more than ten years of professional publishing experience and a specialty in nonfiction, cookbooks, magazines, blogs, and web content.

My publishing experience includes working in-house for Thomas Nelson Publishers in Nashville, TN, and then for one of their authors, Dave Ramsey. I made the leap to freelance in 2013 and now work directly with authors, publishers, and various organizations as a development editor, copyeditor, proofreader, ghost writer, project manager, and consultant. I’ve worked on everything from leadership books, memoirs, and cookbooks, to health and wellness blogs, arts and culture magazines, and financial planning curriculum. My passion is partnering with authors, publishers, and organizations to create excellent content that inspires and changes lives.
