Freelance writer, developmental editor, and copyeditor. A publisher once told me I have ink in my veins. While I feel confident my system runs on at least 50% coffee, I see his point. I love books. I love helping people tell great stories. And I have more than 20 years experience in the industry with established publishing houses, including Random House, Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, and more. I'm a winner of the ECPA's Gold Medallion Award, and my writing projects have sold more than 1,100,000 copies.Over my career I have edited 500+ books in a wide range of categories, from Amish romance to NASCAR biographies. I have decades of experience working with high-end, A-list clients to rewrite or "book doctor" their manuscripts, provide editorial direction and consulting, and even curate private celebrity vaults to find material for new books and projects. My goal is always the book's excellence and success and the author's satisfaction and enjoyment in the process.
