About me

I’m passionate about helping writers refine their work and navigate the journey from draft to polished manuscript. Whether you’re seeking a manuscript review, a developmental edit, coaching to help you reach your writing goals, or guidance on your query letter and synopsis, I offer tailored support to help you succeed at every stage of your writing process.

With over 10 years of experience as an editor and coach, I’ve worked with writers of all levels—first-time authors to seasoned professionals. My goal is to empower you by providing clear, actionable feedback that strengthens your writing and helps you move forward confidently.

 

My Journey in Writing and Publishing

 

Before becoming an editor and coach, I spent several years working directly with agents, publishers, and other industry professionals. I’ve reviewed hundreds of query letters, synopses, and first pages, giving me an insider’s perspective on what it takes to capture the attention of the right people in a competitive market.

 

Through my years of experience working with manuscripts across genres, I found my true passion lies in helping writers craft stories that resonate. From overall structure to sentence-level improvements, I’m committed to helping you strengthen every aspect of your manuscript.
