Welcome!

As a production editor at a trade publisher, I learned the elegant, organized systems that transform a manuscript into a gorgeous print book. From organizing freelance editors to coordinating with designers, finagling a production schedule to working on edits with authors, I ensured that the author was delighted with the results while the publisher received a high-quality, flawless final product.

I have a Certificate in Editing, where I learned the hard skills of professional editing. And I’ve bolstered this expertise with 15 years working in publishing and editing almost 500 titles, including dozens by best-selling authors and prestigious award winners.

While I still work with many traditional book publishers, it’s especially satisfying to help indie authors achieve that trade-publishing polish.

Above all, I respect an author’s creative vision, and I am determined to help them finesse their work to get it even closer to that vision.

I get it!

I have an MFA in Prose, myself, and have been awarded multiple prizes for my writing, including a recent Honorable Mention in Glimmer Train‘s Very Short Fiction Contest. I’ve taught creative writing at the university level, and I surround myself with talented writers I’m lucky to call friends. (Writers make great company, after all!)

I know the struggle; I know how hard and exhilarating it is to create a manuscript; and I’m here to help!
