Traditional Experience, Modern Mind-set
As a project editor at a trade publisher, I learned the elegant, organized systems that transform a manuscript into a gorgeous print book. From organizing freelance editors to coordinating with designers, finagling a production schedule to working on edits with authors, I ensured that the author was delighted with the results while the publisher received a high-quality, flawless final product.
I have a Certificate in Editing, where I learned the hard skills of professional editing. And I've bolstered this expertise with 8 years working in publishing and editing more than 200 titles, including dozens by best-selling authors and prestigious award winners.
While I still work with many traditional book publishers, it's especially satisfying to help indie authors achieve that trade-publishing polish.
#thefreelancelife
I consider myself a part-time digital nomad. While my home base will always be the artsy, coffee-fueled Seattle, I spend weeks or months a year working and living abroad (most recently Bali, New Orleans, Hong Kong, and Rome). Why should you care?

An Editor For Authors
Above all, I respect an author's creative vision, and I am determined to help them finesse their work to get it even closer to that vision.
I get it!
I have an MFA in Prose, myself, and have been awarded multiple prizes for my writing, including a recent Honorable Mention in Glimmer Train's Very Short Fiction Contest. I've taught creative writing at the university level, and I surround myself with talented writers I'm lucky to call friends. (Writers make great company, after all!)
I know the struggle; I know how hard and exhilarating it is to create a manuscript; and I'm here to help!
