Overview

I'm a publishing professional, period. I have worked in numerous parts of the publishing industry since my early twenties, from an editorial internship to an assistant production editor position at the biggest publisher in the world to a freelance copyeditor to a writer to an independent publisher with my company.
I've edited everything from academic titles to romance to entrepreneurial inspiration to high fantasy to erotic comics; run my own online magazine; written dozens of articles for prestigious publications; and written a memoir of my own.
I particularly love working on romance, fantasy, and memoir, but the point is: If you can write it, I can help you get it into better shape for publication. And I'd love to!
