Overview
I am a New York City-based editor with over 20 years of experience in publishing.
Working at the WattpadWEBTOON Book Group, I've been thrilled to help authors, especially first-time authors, not just publish a book, but grow a career. I believe that it is vital to listen and to give honest, constructive feedback. The process is a collaboration, and at the end of the day, I want my authors to love their book as much as I do.
I have been an editorial director at Simon & Schuster’s Aladdin imprint and an Editor at Scholastic and Random House. My background helps me advise aspiring authors on their path. I've put together imprint publishing plans and strategies as well as working closely with writers at all levels of experience and top agents.
As a freelance editor, I can help you refine your work to make it appealing for publication. I take on a variety of different tasks: revising full manuscripts, doctoring book proposals and query letters, developmental editing, and more. I can help identify the weaknesses in your manuscript that editors will spot and help accentuate the things they’ll like most. I’m a very hands-on editor, but I also know that the most important part of the process is that you are left with a manuscript that reflects your creativity and talent. Publishing can be daunting, overwhelming even, but I can help authors zero in on what will make a book stand out in today’s marketplace, strategize how to get an agent, and understand what to expect from the publishing process. Let me help you get your writing in the best possible shape to present it to the world!
I'm always happy to answer questions, so please feel free to get in touch with me.
