Overview
I worked for three years as an Acquisitions Editor, am a full-time freelance Developmental Editor, and an award-winning author. Having completed my Bachelor's and Master’s Degrees in Creative Writing and English, I then pursued an internship with a literary agency and an academic press based in London. Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Humanities and Culture with a specialty in Women and Gender Studies and Creative Writing.
I have a passion for nonfiction and enjoy working on memoirs, spirituality, self-help, relationships, parenting, humanities, mental health & awareness, careers, sexuality, and women & gender novels. I am active in a few writing groups in Maine and a member of a couple of International Societies. I teach several workshops based on publishing and writing techniques. I am enthusiastic and passionate about helping writers hone their craft and produce engaging, riveting manuscripts.
