Let’s Get You Published!

Writing is hard. Publishing is even harder. But you don't have to go it alone

Welcome! As a former editor at two of the top book publishers in New York, I know exactly what it takes to get your manuscript ready for the world, no matter where you are in the writing process.

I specialize in commercial fiction (especially COZY MYSTERIES, THRILLERS, and ROMANCE).

I have worked with hundreds of authors on thousands of books, and I’ve helped my clients land agents, secure deals with publishing houses, and publish independently quite successfully, winning awards and hitting bestseller lists.

Whatever your goal, my support and advice doesn’t end after your manuscript or other materials are edited. I aim to help make all of your writing dreams come true.

I offer a variety of editorial services, including:

  • Query & Synopsis Critiques

  • Manuscript Critiques

  • Full Developmental Editing

I also offer 60-minute phone consultations where you can ask me any questions you have, from the right way to submit to agents to how to publish independently in a way that will give your book the biggest audience. 

I look forward to working together.
