Overview
Hi! I'm a writer/editor in Western Massachusetts. In previous incarnations, I worked in book publishing at St. Martin's Press, and was the research editor at Wondertime, a Disney parenting magazine. Now I'm freelancing -- and loving it. I've worked on countless projects including a lot of memoir, fantasy, literary fiction, mysteries, even the occasional sci-fi novel, and lately I've moved into children's lit. As an editor I have a keen eye and a light hand. Looking forward to reading your work!
