Overview
I'm a collaborative, strategy-focused developmental and copy editor based in New York City. Some of the books I've edited went on to become award-winning, Kirkus-reviewed titles, as well as Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly Bestsellers.
I want to work especially with multicultural writers, organizations, and/or coaches who need an editor experienced in managing timelines and accountability for their book projects.
