Overview
I am a freelance book editor based in Gothenburg with over a decade of experience working at Penguin Random House. I specialize in adult suspense, thrillers, mysteries, dystopian fiction, upmarket commercial fiction, and narrative nonfiction. Before moving to Sweden, I was a Senior Editor at Dutton, an imprint of PRH, where I spent my entire eleven-year career in book publishing. I am currently an Acquisitions Editor at Crooked Lane Books in NYC.
Bestselling and critically acclaimed authors I have worked with include Mark Adams, Jussi Adler-Olsen, Josh Dean, Meg Gardiner, John Hodgman, Joseph Finder, Amy Kaufman, Richelle Mead, Brad Parks, Bryan Reardon, Dan Savage, Daniel Suarez, Brad Taylor, and Stephen White.
