Overview
I worked as the managing editor for independent publishing house Ventura Press, overseeing the editing and production processes for all our fiction and non-fiction trade books. I also have experience helping authors self-publish their work. I have nearly a decade of experience in educational publishing. I have worked as a freelancer since 2011, and my clients include individual authors, not-for-profits, and organisations.
I love collaborating with authors to make good stories. I'll help your strengths shine and I'll wrangle your weaknesses. Show me your quirky memoir, or that piece of fiction that's a little different to the mainstream, and I'll work with you to make it the best book it can be.
