Overview
I provide editorial support to writers who want to publish their best work and wow readers. I am an author’s collaborator, offering thoughtful editing and feedback that will not only polish your manuscript but amplify your voice and ensure readers stay captivated.
Specialties include literary and experimental fiction, cookbooks, novels in translation, and guidebooks. I work with independent authors and traditional publishers such as Coffee House Press, Penguin Random House, Sasquatch Books, Hardie Grant, Mountaineers Books, and others.
I tend to be booked out by about eight weeks. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss working together!
