Hello.

I’m a freelance editor who works closely with authors to nurture books that have the power to shape lives and communities. I’m interested in science, the environment, food and agriculture, health and wellbeing, and transformational justice. I believe all stories should be told with a deep level of literacy around race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability.

I was previously a Senior Editor with Flatiron Books, and have worked at Milkweed Editions, Oxford University Press, and some of New York City’s most respected literary agencies. I’m a graduate of Amherst College and the Columbia Publishing Course.

Editorial Services

DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING - Substantive, structural editing for completed manuscripts or manuscripts in progress. I evaluate the manuscript for big-picture issues and offer guidance for revising to provide clarity for readers. This may also include line editing to refine style and voice on the sentence level.

BOOK COACHING - Editorial consulting for authors in the early stages of writing a book. I work closely with authors to develop an organizational structure for the full book and each chapter, and provide ongoing support for writing and revising.
