Work experience
Self-employed
I provide personalized editorial consulting for rough drafts, manuscripts, and copyediting services. I specialize in children's, middle grade, and young adult fiction.
Choice Reviews
As an editor for an academic review journal from the American Library Association, I was responsible Choice's science and technology section - publishing over 120 reviews each month as well as feature essays, blog content, and more.
Putnam Books for Young Readers (an imprint of Penguin Random House)
As an associate editor at Putnam, I acquired and developed a list of middle grade and young adult novels, seeking out compelling stories and new voices and managing projects from acquisition to publication. I negotiated contracts, collaborated with award-winning authors to transform first drafts into finished works, championed projects to in-house sales and marketing teams, created internal sales sheets and consumer-facing copy, and mustered resources and strategies for successful publication.
