About Me:

I am a passionate editor with more than sixteen years’ experience in the publishing industry and have worked in both Canada and the UK on books for the Canadian, UK, and US markets. This international experience allows me to bring a truly global perspective to my editorial work.

Before going freelance full-time I was Editorial Director at Canelo, where I was nominated for Publisher of the Year by the Romantic Novelists’ Association. I have also worked for HarperCollins, Harlequin and Oxford University Press in a variety of editorial roles.

I work both with publishers and authors directly - from those writing their very first book to authors who have appeared on the Sunday Times, New York Times and USA Today bestsellers lists - and I look forward to bringing my extensive editorial experience and detailed eye to your project!
