Overview
I am a voracious reader and devoted editor with five plus years of editorial experience. I am passionate about books and helping authors to get their best work out to their readers.I’ve worked in publishing since 2012 and received an MFA in creative fiction writing from Columbia University in 2010. I’ve also taught fiction writing workshops and regularly attend writers conferences across the country.My interests lie in commercial fiction—romance, fantasy/science fiction, supernatural/paranormal, women’s fiction, erotica. But I also love and devour a heavy dose of literary fiction, young adult, and new adult.With a background in both creative writing and publishing, I can look at your work with an editor’s eye and a writer’s finesse. I’m especially eager to work with #ownvoices authors.
