Overview
After three years at Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster, working with authors such as Meg Wolitzer, Lauren Groff, Helen Oyeyemi, and Paula Hawkins, I've relocated to the West Coast and am now wearing all the hats of a freelance editor: copy editing, developmental editing, line editing, cereal box editing; you name it. As an editor, it's not my place to impose my vision on your story. Instead, I want to help shape your book into the best version of itself that it can be.
