Overview
I have 10+ years of editorial experience across trade publishing, academic, and business writing, but my greatest love has always been for fiction—children's and adult. I've worked with independent authors, agencies, small presses, and even industry giants such as HarperCollins. I love working on books with spooky or thrilling plots, contemporary fantasy, light romance, and anything quirky or particularly heartwarming. Though my background is mainly in middle grade and YA, there's a sprinkling of adult in there as well, and I'm always open to expanding my adult base more.
Whether it's building a world, tracking timelines, polishing prose, or finding grammatical errors, I believe the author should have a hand in the editorial process wherever possible. Word choice and sentence structure build worlds and characters just as much as plot, and I strive to make sure that no matter what type of editing, the author's vision remains in tact. You can expect any project we start together to be a two-way dialogue.
