Overview
I'm here to help you polish your prose until it shines! I'm a published author and a seasoned editorial professional with clients at fiction presses, academic and university presses, large companies such as P&G, ConAgra and Kroger, and web publishing platforms such as Forbes and LinkedIn. I combine an in-depth knowledge of Chicago Style and AP Style with a broad understanding of the market and a deep love for the cadence, meaning, and musicality of language to help you clarify and express your unique voice.
Offering your work up for editing, especially if you're a first-timer, can feel incredibly daunting. My approach combines humor, compassion, expertise, and insight into the current literary landscape. I stay in communication with you throughout the course of your project, asking questions and making suggestions to ensure I'm helping you meet your publishing goals.
As a YA/MG editor, and as a parent, I'm interested in a wide range of topics that affect today's kids, tweens, and teens, ranging from external factors like our ever-changing political climate to internal concerns like first love, personal aspirations, disabilities, and peer and family relationships. If you're writing for kids, you're writing for our future. I'm committed to helping you share your message and voice as clearly and effectively as possible.
I live in Cincinnati with my family and a zoo's worth of rescue dogs, reptiles, and birds with varying disabilities, plus loads of overstuffed bookshelves and more art supplies and dirt bikes than anyone honestly needs. I love staying active with trail running, weight training, biking and obstacle course racing (OCR). In 2016, I competed in the OCR World Championships and showed that warp wall who was boss (spoiler: it was the warp wall).
