Overview
I have worked in almost every facet of the book publishing industry, but my knowledge and passion really shine as an editor and publishing consultant. I have worked as an associate publisher at She Writes Press (distribution via Simon & Schuster) for 10 years, helmed my own company, and have knowledge on book publicity, different publishing models, types of editing, and more. I've spoken at conferences on writing, editing and publishing include IBPA PubU, PubWest, Women Writing the West, and more. I love helping shepherd stories out into the world!
The way I work with authors is very collaborative. It's important to me that authors fully understand why edits are made and a transparent view of the world of editing and book publishing. I can work via email, phone or zoom, and want to make an author feel comfortable that we are together bringing their manuscript to its most beautiful and professional, no matter the genre.
