Overview
I'm an editor with 15 years of experience developing original content for books. I have edited award-winning books for HarperCollins, Amazon Publishing, Simon & Schuster, and Audible, and I've worked with authors such as Maria Hinojosa, Tim Ferriss, Erica Jong, Deepak Chopra, Mark Frauenfelder, Reshma Saujani, Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, Robert Greene, 50 Cent, Stanley Fish, Catherine McKenzie, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Mollie Katzen.
I'm also the author of NOT YOUR CHINA DOLL, a new biography of Anna May Wong, forthcoming from Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Random House, in March 2024.
Currently, I work with a select number of clients on a freelance basis to shepherd their projects through the publishing process. My services include: developmental editing, book proposal development, proofreading and light copyediting, jacket copy, and consultation on self-publishing platforms and distribution strategies.
