Overview
Hello! I am an experienced developmental and line editor with more than ten years of professional publishing experience, who loves nothing more than helping an aspiring author refine their work into the best, most vibrant version of itself.
I was previously part of the editorial team at Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, where I worked with numerous New York Times bestselling authors, before deciding to become a freelance editor. I now own and run my own editorial services company, bringing quality editing straight to aspiring and established authors alike.
My ideals as an editor are that quality comes above all, passion is a necessary ingredient, and fostering real partnerships with writers is essential for any work to succeed. I'm wholly devoted to any project I take on and deeply committed to helping manuscripts reach their highest potential.
I have a soft spot for brave new worlds, fresh plot twists, and strong, complex protagonists. I specialize in Fantasy, Romance (all subgenres), Romantic Fantasy, Thriller (especially Espionage), Suspense, Dystopian Fiction, Post-apocalyptic Fiction, Speculative Fiction, YA/NA Fantasy, and YA/NA Dystopian/Post-apocalyptic Fiction.
Passionate about books my entire life, I have a BA in Creative Writing from Northwestern University and a MA in Shakespeare from University College London.
