I am a former senior editor at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers with nearly two decades of experience editing acclaimed and bestselling books for children and young adults. I have edited more than 300 titles across a variety of genres, from picture books and poetry collections to middle grade and young adult novels, and I bring this depth of experience and industry knowledge to every project.
Whether you are writing your first book or your fiftieth, if you choose to work with me you can expect: sincere respect for your creative vision; a thoughtful assessment of your work from an experienced editorial eye; and clear, actionable feedback to guide your next revision.
Books that I have edited have spent more than 125 combined weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and include #1 New York Times bestsellers, a Lambda Literary Award finalist, a William C. Morris Young Adult Debut Award finalist, an Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy nominee, an Edgar Award nominee, Bram Stoker Award nominees, and a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book.
I have had the honor of working with authors and illustrators at all stages of their careers, from debuts to Caldecott Medal winners, Newbery Medal winners, and National Book Award finalists. Other clients include Bloomsbury Children’s Books/Macmillan, Greenwillow Books/HarperCollins, the Gernert Company, Writers House, and the Greenhouse Literary Agency.
