Overview
With an MA in Publishing and 4+ years of experience, I am an extremely competent editor. I've worked for trade publishers, such as Second Sky, Rising Action Publishing, Inked in Gray, SmashBear Publishing, Joffe Books, Lume, and ChocLit, along with indie authors.
I have experience working on fantasy, sci-fi, romance, horror, historical sagas, crime thrillers, and cozy mysteries. I have extensive experience in developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading.
I adore reading and bringing stories to life. I love the idea of delving into a new challenge and putting my current skills to the test to make an amazing book flourish. I thoroughly enjoy reading LGBTQIA+ and diverse SFFH, and cozy mysteries, and I bring my passion for storytelling to every editing project. I also love helping authors find their voice, especially those under-represented in the industry.
