Overview
My list and expertise is extremely broad: I've created proposals for prescriptive nonfiction, "big think" books, and memoir. I've edited big thrillers and commercial and literary novels as well as young adult fiction at all stages.
My close proximity to the publishing industry (i.e.- I know how hard it is to get published!) can provide crucial insight as far as what a project needs for utmost success. I'm extremely comprehensive, organized, and communicative with my clients. I can also give a decent pep talk when called for!
I'm in this business because I love storytelling and I love to bring ideas to life. Collaboration is a very rewarding part of my job. I'd love to connect on your project and help you accomplish your goals.
