Overview
A magazine editor and book publisher with extensive international experience, I work with those who have important stories to tell, holding their hands and guiding their steps on the perilous publishing journey into the unknown.
I believe in professional products, niche markets, authenticity and the power of curation.
Having grown up in Africa, living and working now in Asia, and with the bulk of my clients from the US, I bring an international perspective to thoughts about audience, tone and the business behind the book.
Working remotely, I merge the joys of tech with a love of words and visuals.
