Overview

I’m a literary agent and developmental editor with over 25 years of experience helping authors shape manuscripts that are both creatively strong and commercially viable. I’ve worked extensively with fiction and nonfiction writers at all stages of their careers, bringing a sharp editorial eye, deep market awareness, and a clear understanding of what publishers—and readers—are looking for. My background as an agent means I focus not only on craft, but also on positioning: strengthening structure, voice, and narrative momentum while keeping the marketplace firmly in view.

As an editor, I’m both a book doctor and a cheerleader. I offer thoughtful, constructive feedback and hands-on book coaching throughout the developmental process, from early drafts to submission-ready manuscripts. Writers I work with can expect honest guidance, practical revision strategies, and a collaborative, encouraging approach. You’ll leave the process with a stronger manuscript, a clearer revision roadmap, and renewed confidence in your project.
