Overview

I'm a Developmental Editor with 6+ years of experience in Romance, Mystery, and SF genres.

As a dev editor, I've working with 100+ in both fiction and non-fiction, but fiction is where my heart is. My recent projects include The Hidden Demon by Fish Phillips, The Dust That Danced by Ashley Cavuto, and Spinning Threads by Maria Suarez.

As a ghostwriter, I specialize in writing fiction - from ideation, to outlining, to actually writing the chapters. I've ghostwritten 25+ books over the last 6 years, and I'm publishing a sci-fi mystery novel under my own name in the fall of 2021. Keep an eye out for Crescent Earth!

I love storytelling, and I'm also a huge fan of structuring and mapping out the story to take full advantage of the premise, plot, and characters!
