Overview
I spent more than a decade as an acquiring editor at major publishers, including most recently as an executive editor at Penguin Random House, and as such I have an invaluable insider perspective on what acquiring editors and literary agents are looking for in proposals.
While specializing largely at the cross sections of pop culture, social/cultural issues, lifestyle, and memoir, I have worked with high-profile, acclaimed, and New York Times bestselling authors, including: pop icon Jennifer Lopez; sports legend Pelé; actress and Times’s Up organizer Amber Tamblyn; transgender activist Sarah McBride; hip hop radio legend Angie Martinez; as well as actors Mario Lopez, George Lopez, Jon Cryer, and Jennie Garth, among many others.
To best help authors at various stages of the writing process, I offer services including a full developmental edit, an editorial assessment, and publishing consultation with practical advice on how to proceed with the writing or publishing processes.
