Overview
I am the author and anthologist of nearly 30 books released by traditional publishers, and worked for almost a dozen years as the fiction editor for an independent commercial publishing house. As editor, I would shepherd a given book through the entire life cycle of production, from manuscript acquisition to finished book on store shelves. As of this writing, I have edited over 90 titles, including more than a dozen that have won major literary prizes and been placed on various year's best lists.
Though I have experience working within many genres of fiction, my passion is speculative fiction. Typically, the weirder the better! In addition, though I have much experience in the entire editorial process, my biggest strength is in structural/developmental editing, in drilling down to what exactly works and does not work in terms of character, plot, pacing, theme and worldbuilding.
