Overview
Hello! I am a professional editor with almost fifteen years experience working in manuscript development and acquisitions editorial. I've worked as an acquisitions editor for several university presses and for Bloomsbury USA, one of the largest and most profitable independent publishers in the United States.
It's exciting to work with passionate people who need help getting their ideas off the ground or shaping their concepts into a publishable manuscript. No matter where you are with your writing and research, I can help you achieve your goals and turn your great ideas into a great book!
