Overview
I'm a developmental book editor with 14 years of experience in the field. The right editor for your memoir should be a person you trust with your deepest memories, dreams, passions and insecurities. I am honored when someone chooses me to play this role, and I treat every collaboration with the care and sensitivity it deserves. I have worked with philosophers, artists, activists, scholars and many others to bring their personal stories to life.

(over 3 years)
I worked closely with authors to develop their ideas and hone their manuscripts in preparation for publication. As managing editor, I coordinated the editors, freelancers, and interns who contributed to the execution of the dozens of books published during my tenure. I also wrote cover copy, catalog copy, and publicity materials.
