Overview
As both an editor and writer, I understand how it feels to be on the receiving end of feedback. That's why I offer a friendly approach to editing, both to help you shape up your writing, and also to help you learn.
I was previously the in-house editor at The Knight Agency, where I worked on adult romance, and I am now the associate managing editor at Peachtree Publishing and Holiday House, working on children's titles ranging from picture books to YA.
I offer two types of services:
1) Editorial assessments for early drafts of manuscripts that need big-picture feedback.
2) Copyediting for manuscripts that have already gone through big-picture edits, beta readers, etc., and are ready to be cleaned up at the sentence level.
I hold an MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts, a certificate from the Columbia Publishing Course, and a BA in creative writing from Emory University.

Work experience
Peachtree Publishing & Holiday House
I help manage the production schedules of our titles while performing regular editorial reviews of each title on my list. This includes copyediting and proofreading shorter works, and oftentimes cold reading novels for the acquisitions editors (see selected works below). Formerly a production editor.
Forbes Travel Guide
I edited reports based on hotel, restaurant, and spa inspections, checking for clarity, accuracy, and tone.
The Knight Agency
I helped oversee the literary agency's assisted self-publishing program, TKA Distribution. I edited adult romance manuscripts, assisted with formatting and marketing the books, and uploaded the finished products to online retailers.
