Overview
With more than twelve years experience as an educator and research scientist, more than twenty-five as an editor and community leader, and recently, three years as a writer, I bring wide-ranging knowledge and a well honed set of skills to every project. My passion is engaging people in the beauty and creativity of human endeavors, especially science. I love to help authors marry their text and art so that the two complement one another beautifully.
My clients over the years include WW Norton, WH Freeman/Macmillan, Oxford University Press, Johns Hopkins University Press, MIT Press, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Garland Science, Roberts & Company, The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and multiple satisfied authors who contacted me through Reedsy.
I am an avid reader of science fiction, general interest science, urban planning, and history. I raise Newfoundlands, love to cook and bake, and am still trying to perfect my homemade pizza and sourdough bread.
Whether you are working on a book about science, dogs, cooking, local government, land use, or many other topics, it would be my pleasure to help you create an amazing book.
