Overview
Book and literary journal editor with ten years experience editing books and stories through every stage of the process: developmental edits all the way to fine copyedits and proofreading.
The greatest compliment I've received as an editor is from a writer I worked with recently, who wrote on Twitter that my "superpower is to see the beating heart of a book." I like to get to know my clients and their work, and I'm passionate about helping each client achieve their goals with the piece(s) they're working on.
If my approach seems like it could help you, let's talk about working together!
Note: Currently working on book-length manuscripts only.

Work experience
Word West Press
I'm responsible for every aspect of the editorial process, from initial consultations with each writer on their goals and ambitions for the book, to developmental edits, copyedits, and proofreading. I'm a one-person department, and I love this sort of deep engagement with a project. I've valued my work at Word West immensely.
Self-employed
I've worked on everything from poetry to historical zombie fiction. The breadth of experience has been extremely valuable to me, and I feel that I have something to offer almost any project. If I can't help you, I can probably point you in the direction of someone who can.
