Overview
I'm an editor with Harlequin Books specializing in romance fiction. After spending several years working in film development at various companies in New York, including Phoenix Pictures and The Sokolow Company, I switched my focus to book publishing and came to work at Harlequin. Some of the authors I have had the privilege of working with include New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling authors Susan Mallery and Shirley Jump, USA TODAY bestselling authors Judy Duarte and Karen Rose Smith, award-winning authors Brenda Harlen and Gail Barrett, and many others. In addition to individual books, I've also worked on a number of multi-author miniseries and some serial projects for the digital market. I love finding new authors and working with them to make their books as engaging and saleable as possible for today's competitive market.
