I’m an editor and published author with ten years of experience and a degree in English from UC Berkeley. I love helping writers craft extraordinary stories and am especially drawn to memoirs of personal transformation and growth.

Having gone through the rigorous publishing process myself as an author, I bring invaluable experience to the various stages of editing with an eye on the end result. From an initial assessment of your early draft to a comprehensive developmental edit, I'll work closely with you to get your book in the best shape possible for publication.

My editing experience includes working collaboratively with in-house editing teams from traditional publishers (e.g. Broadleaf Books), but I especially love working directly with independent authors to craft original, moving stories that range from personal memoir to contemporary romance.
