Overview
A compassionate and diligent editor collaborating with writers to articulate their stories into manuscripts that they can be proud to query and publish. I work closely with all my clients to ensure that they are happy with the final product. My 10 years of publishing experience ranges across genres in both fiction and nonfiction, from literary novels and commercial mysteries to self-improvement and memoirs, which include New York Times bestselling titles, Pulitzer Prize nominees, and Man Booker nominees. I'm keen on memoirs and am sensitive to the delicate nature of writing personal nonfiction and am also interested in mental health, neurodiversity, and diverse voices from all cultures. Storytelling has been my passion for as long as I can remember and it's truly a joy for me to be able to guide writers and their stories into the world!
