Many authors, with varying degrees of editorial experience, offer editorial services. I’ve worked in publishing and publishing-adjacent fields for 20 years, along with 25+ years in broadcast and print journalism. I can help you convey your message–and do it with kindness and care.

I offer developmental editing only, meaning a “big picture” edit focusing on plot development, characterization, and the fine-tuning of subplots and lesser characters. I tease out whether you’ve lost the thread on a subplot, need to advance an interesting character, or really need that little darling sidenote here or in Chapter 10.

My credentials? I’ve worked in New York publishing at Scholastic, getting to know what it takes to get published; at literary agency Writers House, where I read and reported on countless manuscripts; and at Inkluded Academy, a non-profit championing education, diversity, and mentorship in publishing. I’ve also written and edited tens of thousands of stories in my 25+ years in journalism. I’ve committed my whole life to the careful crafting of words. If you’d like a second pair of eyes on your work, I’m happy to offer that fresh look.

AN IMPORTANT CAVEAT:
Please do not contact me if you’ve used AI in ANY way during ANY stage of the development of your the work. I will not edit AI-ideated, AI-organized, or AI-generated manuscripts. If an author a person can’t be bothered to write their opus, I can’t be bothered to read it.
