Overview
I am a published author and editor with experience in the literary and tech worlds. I have managed book projects from initial planning to print publication with a sensitive, supportive approach to editing.
When it comes to fiction, I specialize in contemporary literary fiction and coming of age stories. I am an avid reader of experimental narrative forms as well as more traditional fare. As an author, I have published a book of short stories and a collection of poetry, and am currently writing a novel.
I also have fourteen years of experience in the tech world. I currently work as a developmental editor for Manning Publications, where I support authors, chapter by chapter, through their book development process.
Very attentive to detail, I'm known in professional and workshop circles for delivering candid, constructive feedback with empathy and understanding of the writer's project.
