developmental editor

My background as a writer, creative writing instructor, and former submissions reader and editor for a literary agent gives me a unique skill set with a deep understanding of both the art and business of writing. I have the ability to convey to a writer what works and what doesn’t in a way that strengthens not only the manuscript, but the writer’s natural gifts as well.
I enjoy working with writers from varied backgrounds and experiences. My client base is diverse and international, hailing from locations throughout the world, and I am especially interested in working with writers from traditionally underrepresented groups.
Past and current clients include New York Times best sellers and Amazon top sellers. The majority of my clients have received agent representation, publication, and/or awards with the manuscripts on which I've worked.
I work with writers at every stage of the process from initial draft to final revision, and specialize in literary, upmarket, commercial, YA, contemporary women’s, erotica, and fantasy.
