Overview
My approach to working with authors depends on the author and their needs. I am honest and always have what's best for the story in mind. I help authors find their strengths and then we launch from there. Every experience is different and tailored to the project and individual needs of the author.
I began my career as an editor in 2000 as a fiction editor for Harlequin Books where I acquired and edited manuscripts for almost seven years. My focus was primarily acquiring and doing structural and stylistic editing of women's fiction. I am a senior editor and was an editorial director with Entangled Publishing (since 2011).
I'm highly practiced in works of fiction, children's books, and non-fiction works (memoirs, business books, textbooks). I work with many writers who self-publish and I understand the needs of writers looking to self-publish. I want to see you succeed and achieve your publishing goals!
Manuscript evaluations are a strength; I've literally done hundreds. The feedback I provide has properly shaped many people's books. I'm a skilled and thorough structural/substantive editor, stylistic editor, proofreader, and developmental editor.
I've worked with many top authors in the industry, many I found in the slush pile. But I edit across all genres and have experience in all. I'm a writing coach who helps writers achieve their goals and overcome blocks that prevent them from tapping into their full creative arsenal. I do manuscript evaluations to help writers develop the tightest, strongest story possible.I'm also well versed in screenplays and editing them and am currently pursuing my BFA Spec. Hons. in Film-Screenwriting.
