Overview
In addition to being a dedicated reader, I have worked in an editorial capacity for over 20 years, participating on well over a thousand script and book projects. A former nonfiction literary agent, I am quite familiar with the publishing process and what it takes to get a quality book into readers' hands. As a book coach/editor, I work with clients across the globe at all stages of their manuscript production, providing both editorial and mindset support. I have spoken at conferences across the nation, training authors on all things writing- and publishing-related.
I am a highly dedicated, detailed, and results-oriented editor who excels at assisting authors in creating the best possible product, as quickly and efficiently as possible. I specialize in providing editorial assessment (where I read through your manuscript and deliver a memo outlining your book's areas for improvement - and strengths, too! - in addition to any potential obstacles I see on your path to publication), developmental editing (where I use track changes to make changes directly on your manuscript, focusing on "big picture" things like structure and content and theme), and query letter review (where I edit an existing query letter or compose a fresh one for you).
Whether it's memoir, business and entrepreneurship, self-help, or inspirational, I look forward to helping you make your big ideas accessible to readers.

Additionally, I assist clients with submission materials for publication consideration, liaise with authors and their ghostwriters in bringing their visions to life, and speak at writers’ conferences nationwide on topics relating to writing and publishing, including the book publishing process, how to build platforms, how to write a nonfiction book proposal, and what good writers do badly. I was also a judge for the 2019 Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards.
