I have been editing books since 2009, both freelance and at a small press. I have a strong passion for helping authors refine their craft and bring their stories to life. Publishing a book is a difficult, confusing, and time-consuming process, so I work closely with each author to answer questions and help guide their journey.
Most recently I worked as the editorial director at a small traditional press with national distribution. I oversaw every step of the book publishing process, from acquisitions, through editing, layout, and design, and finally, to publishing.
I am committed to treating each book with the care I believe it deserves. Each author’s story is important, but writing the book is just the first step in the process to being published. I can help you in every step of your journey to finding a publisher or self-publishing on your own.
