Overview

***My Reedsy profile is currently on hiatus due to full-time work ***

I've spent 11+ years honing my skills as an editor of middle grade and YA novels. I am passionate about kids' books and have a deep understanding of the market and what makes for a thrilling, unforgettable read. As a developmental editor, nothing brings me greater satisfaction than working with an author to transform a story into the best possible version of itself. I'd love to help you develop your story's world-building, characters, plot, and pacing.

I am an avid reader with omnivorous taste - I love everything from fantasy/sci-fi, to contemporary/realistic, to historical fiction.

I've worked with #1 New York Times bestselling authors including Robert Beatty, Alexandra Bracken, James Patterson, and Kerri Maniscalco.

Laura is a star! Her feedback was very insightful and extremely helpful. Her review of my manuscript was careful and thoughtful.
