I offer editing and advising services to writers with literary fiction, nonfiction, and graphic novel projects. I tailor my editing to the project, whether it's a clear-eyed editorial read, chapter-by-chapter developmental editing, line work, or something (anything) in-between. Projects range from short stories to collections to novels and researched nonfiction. Primarily I work directly with writers, either in preparation for submission or once they're under contract and want to make sure their work is looking its best; however, I am also open to institutional work. Recent projects include an artist's biography, a story collection, a writer converting several reported articles into a book-length project, and novels.

Leading community-based workshops in NYC and online, with organizations like 92Y and Center for Fiction.
