Overview
I am a detail-oriented editor and publishing professional who has spent my career helping authors, agents, and publishers create outstanding, award-winning books.
Starting at academic and trade book producer MTM Publishing, I learned the ins and outs of all facets of editorial management and production. I then moved on to McGraw-Hill—where I developed, acquired, and edited trade and professional titles—before settling into my current role independently editing prescriptive and narrative nonfiction.
I have collaborated with former CEOs, world-renowned speakers, thought leaders, journalists, musicians-turned-writers, and first-time authors from a variety of backgrounds and have contributed to the success of a number of New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal bestsellers.
