With a long history of helping authors to write their story in either fiction or nonfiction works. I'm always mindful of the needs of the reader, and careful to consider voice, style, and features of great writing. Editorial ExperienceAs an editor, I gravitate toward books that contain personal stories of lives transformed with a subtle unfolding of the truth; books that are filled with wonder and joy on subjects exploring new and better ways of living in community.

My bestselling, nonfiction authors include Gary Chapman, Chris Fabry, Priscilla Shirer, and Elyse Fitzpatrick.Award-winning BooksTitles I've worked on won notable awards in the Christian publishing market.

And one of titles won American Christian Fiction Writer's Carol Award: Jungle Fire (River North edition)
