Overview
Former editorial assistant to the publisher at Big Five children's imprint. We Need Diverse Books grant recipient '21. My background is in evaluating mss for senior editorial leadership, writing reader's reports, author care, and drafting editorial letters. I have worked with NYTimes bestselling, award-winning authors, and debut talent, on stories that range from silly underpants-wearing dogs to sparkling vampire covens. I have also been a sub reader for lit agents and continue to offer part-time services.
I am dedicated to helping first-time authors at the early to mid-stages of story development as they prepare to query! I am most adept at working on picture books, MG, and YA (fantasy, romance). My approach depends on your greatest needs. I am honest and strive to offer what I think will make your story stand out. Every experience is tailored to the project. I communicate best through written comments and phone calls. If that sounds like your cup of tea– brew a piping hot mug and let's chat!
