Overview
Books can be beautiful, useful, and versatile. I make sure that your book stands out and lives up to the level of quality that readers expect—be it in print, ebook, or audiobook.
I have more than 10 years of experience in the book publishing industry. I have worked with best-selling, self-published authors, as well as in well-established publishing houses. My network includes people from all areas of the publishing industry, including editorial services, design, illustration, rights, printing, and publicity. I teach book publishing and marketing classes at Portland State University.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Communication and Women's Studies from Southwestern University and a master’s in Writing with a specialization in Book Publishing from Portland State University.
