Overview
Hello! I'm Tammy, a long-time editor who understands the ups and downs of the writing life. With over 15 years of experience, I've helped dozens of authors refine and publish successful books. My clients include award winners, bestsellers, and six-figure earners across genres.
As an author myself, I appreciate the care and effort crafting a book requires. I won't just edit your work—I'll be your partner and publishing coach. My goal is to help your manuscript shine so you can achieve your publishing dreams.
I'm welcoming new voices and stories into my client circle and would love to chat about how I can help make your story resonate with your audience. Like many readers, I’m most attracted to stories with strong emotional throughlines, punctuated with action, intrigue, and suspense. Please reach out! I'm excited to learn about your story and discuss how we can partner to take it to the next level.
