Overview
Hello there! I'm currently a Senior Editor at Grove Atlantic focusing on developing and publishing crime fiction, mysteries and thrillers. I publish across the entire genre, from dark thrillers to lighthearted crime and everything in between.
I have been on the faculty for multiple writing conferences, including ThrillerFest, QueryFest, PitchFest, Bouchercon, Pikes Peak Writers Conference, Book Passage Writers Conference, and the Mystery Writers of America. At each of these conferences, I volunteer my time to critique query letters, listen to pitches, and provide feedback.
I am available for developmental editing and query letter reviews. I am especially passionate about working with first time authors, and hopefully together, we can help make your project a success. My favorite part of the editorial process is helping you land the big reveal.
I edit via Track Changes in Microsoft Word, and my general philosophy is to ask many questions in the hopes of identifying the weakest areas of the manuscript. After delivering my edits, ideally we'd have a phone call to discuss next steps and get on the same page. I know you're putting a lot of faith and finances into working with me, so I promise to remain engaged in your project until we both agree that the edit is done.
I love what I do, and I can't wait to work with you!
