Overview
As a children's editor with experience taking projects from concept to publication, I have a keen understanding of the market for young readers and what makes a successful book for kids. The past five years of my career have been exclusively focused on children's nonfiction, although I still have a soft spot for YA fiction.
I am a collaborative editor who values open communication—if you disagree with or don't understand something in my edits, I want to hear about it! Editing is a process, and there's not always one right answer to a problem; I love talking through your work until we come to the best solution for you. I've worked with authors with all levels of experience, including many people who are subject matter experts but had never written a book before. Whether you need help fleshing out an initial idea or doing a final polish before you submit or self-publish your manuscript, I would love to work with you to bring your book to the next level.
